Carbon Pricing   Minister's solution to that is to quadruple the carbon tax. Will the Prime Minister announce in an hour, in his fall economic statement, that he has gotten a little bit of common sense, that he is going to cancel the quadrupling and cap the tax until the carbon tax election, when I

The Economy   to undo the damage that it has done is to reverse course in today's fall economic statement. Conservatives have provided a plan to cancel the planned quadrupling of the carbon tax, to announce a plan to balance the budget and to deliver a plan to build homes, not bureaucracy

Carbon Tax  , to a vote. It is a bill that would axe the carbon tax from propane and natural gas to dry their crops and heat their livestock barns on farm. Axing the carbon tax would save Canadian farmers $1 billion over the next 10 years. Farmers feed cities and they help feed the world. At a time

Environment committee   to be political: That's why we saw such cross-partisan support for Bill C-234. It became political when the Prime Minister decided that 3% of Canadians were going to receive a break on the carbon tax on home heating, stepping back on a major marquee policy. This legislation is about doing

Environment committee  I have yet to have anybody explain to me how a carbon tax in Canada will affect anything that happens in Canada in terms of droughts, floods and all those kinds of things. Again, we're all entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts. The fact that Canada emits 1.5

Environment committee   that: (a) Canadian Farmers have some of the most environmentally friendly agricultural operations in the world; (b) The Premiers of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have issued public letters calling on the Senate to urgently pass Bill C-234, a carbon tax carve out

International Trade committee   is not made with electric-arc technology, so it's carbon-intensive. Putting in something like preventing carbon leakage, again, means you're attracting investment because your carbon tax is so low. If Ukraine were forced to increase its carbon tax as a result of this trade agreement

International Trade committee  It probably would. Again, I haven't studied the issue in Ukraine, but it would probably make Ukraine a less attractive market to invest in. We've been doing some work on the carbon tax in Canada over the last six months, and we're starting to see some trends with industrial

International Trade committee  We have obviously requested that the investment chapter be removed. That was really our idea. Here we're talking a lot about environmental issues and the carbon tax. What's interesting in this agreement, as opposed to others, is that the environment is really part of it. When

International Trade committee   carbon leakage, effectively, is that you can't have a carbon tax that is so low that you attract investment into your country. That's how they've set it out in this trade agreement. Now, Ukraine's carbon tax is very tiny. I think it's the lowest in the world, and it's applied just

International Trade committee   forward on the inclusion of a carbon tax. She implied that somehow we were helping Vladimir Putin by causing some kind of delay. It was an audacious statement for her to make. I mean, we've had the ambassador here talking about what it's going to take for Ukraine to successfully come

International Trade committee   are not asking for a carbon tax. Ukrainians are asking for weapons. Ukraine needs to win this war. That means they need the munitions and equipment that, in many cases, Canada could make available, in order to allow them to secure victory. There is nothing currently in Bill C-57 that deals

International Trade committee   agreements that you don't normally put in. Otherwise, how would you put a carbon tax in a trade agreement for the first time? With that in mind, I'm just going to ask anyone this: If you've looked at the trade agreement, have you seen any language there that deals with munitions exports

International Trade committee   in a trade agreement, like the development of LNG reserves. This government made a clear choice to put carbon taxes and carbon leakage into a trade agreement for a country in the middle of a war, as opposed to putting in something that could actually help them in the war, which is LNG

International Trade committee  . International trade can definitely create a larger carbon footprint. So we have to pay attention to that aspect of the situation. Twenty-seven countries around the world have a carbon tax. However, we don't really know if that approach is effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions
