Study predicts how many jobs YOUR province will lose with new Trudeau carbon tax

That figure accounts for "jobs created by new government spending and household rebates of carbon charges."

"Unlike previous cases when the government proposed major policy changes, it has not released any quantitative economic analyses of the impacts of the plan, except to claim that the policy will have no effect on GDP," the study writes.

The study presents analysis using "large empirical model of the Canadian economy," that shows "substantial negative impacts." These impacts also include a 2.1 percent drop in GDP.

The study points out that it reduced the nominal value of the carbon tax to $140 "to account for inflation," and that by doing this, they could estimate that the Trudeau carbon tax would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 26 percent, which still falls short of the Paris Climate Accord targets. To reach those targets, Canada would have to implement a $240 per tonne tax.

In total, the study predicts the following job losses in each province:

British Columbia; 22,920 Alberta, 30,540 Saskatchewan; 1,280 Manitoba; 1,680 Ontario; 98,770 Quebec; 42,320 New Brunswick, 2250 Nova Scotia; 1,460 Prince Edward Island; 450 Newfoundland and Labrador; 1,040
