Budget Implementation Act, 2005   know it will not be places where some of us come from because obviously that would not help get any vote, so let us not try and hide this. We are telling corporations that they can buy credits and contribute to the tech fund or we will fine them. We will set up a carbon tax and we

The Environment   for a backdoor carbon tax by using CEPA, which is a toxic reductions bill. All of this betrays the Liberals' ignorance of the economic and energy realities of our country. Canada's emissions reduction targets under the Kyoto accord are clearly unattainable and the Liberal government's plan

Budget Implementation Act, 2005   firms. It is shocking that they would even consider doing that, but they just might. On the CEPA clause, the Liberals took it out of the budget. They are going to give us a win. Where does it appear? They are going to administer this new plan using CEPA, a carbon tax on Canadians

Budget Implementation Act, 2005  , is that somehow this is a carbon tax. There is no carbon, climate or green tax. There is no tax at all. In fact, if we were to have a tax we would have to bring in new legislation. As the parliamentary secretary I want to point out to all hon. members in the House that they can put that rumour

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the following is what three senior Liberals are saying about the environment minister's hidden Kyoto agenda to use CEPA to push a carbon tax. The environment committee chair said, “CO 2 is not a toxic risk to human health”. The finance chair said that he had

The Environment   door to push a carbon tax, or is it the present environment minister?

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, even a student in economics 101 would know the difference between a regulatory regime and a carbon tax. I am sure it is only because they want to fight Kyoto at any cost that they are so blinded and using this kind of argument. I want to quote what the Canadian

Committees of the House   that this was not the way to go. The government should not take an environment bill and sneak it in the back door under a budget and ultimately plan it to be a carbon tax. That is just not advisable. If the government had someone who understood the issue it would certainly have given that advice. I

The Budget   everywhere. For us in western Canada that would be the national energy program too. That would be a carbon tax. There is no other word for it. On Thursday the minister gave me his verbal commitment that there will be no carbon tax. I say that here because I want that on the record. I

Forestry   for these crazy carbon tax credits, why do we not use that money to help Canadian industry develop an alternative for countries like China or India so that they will no longer be dependent on burning fossil fuels and creating the CO 2 ? That is the innovative way that the Conservative Party

The Environment   for his boondoggle. Now the environment minister wants to raise gas taxes or income taxes to feed his Kyoto monster. When this government made a commitment to Kyoto, we said that the only way it could reach the goals was to shut down entire industries or implement a carbon tax. Well

Transportation Amendment Act   and that comes in the form of a carbon tax. We will have to tax the carbon used to make electricity and heat our homes and used for transportation. Would we not think that the government would have dealt with that issue in a transportation bill? If the government had any kind of foresight

Question No. 55  As part of the Implementation plan for the Kyoto Protocol as called for in the motion adopted by the House on October 24, 2002, is the government guaranteeing well head or carbon taxes will not be introduced or increased (as the case may be) in a bid to meet its Kyoto targets?

Question No. 55  The November 2002 Climate Change Plan for Canada contains no proposals regarding carbon taxes or well head taxes. It has been a long standing position that a carbon tax will not be part of the Government of Canada’s approach to addressing climate change.

Kyoto Protocol   on to the taxpayers as a disguised carbon tax. What is this going to cost the Canadian taxpayer?
