The Environment  , floods, and other effects of climate change. They are both moral issues, with huge economic impacts as well for Canadians. As different as the two issues may appear to be, they can be addressed by the same policy: carbon fee and dividend. This is a carbon pricing system

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, in May I asked the government if it would finally consider taking real action on climate change and implement a carbon fee and dividend system. In typical Conservative fashion, I did not get a real answer. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister

The Environment   this simple solution. Carbon fee and dividend is not a tax. It will not cost jobs. It is market-driven and fair. The government would give back every dollar to Canadians, and no new bureaucracy is needed, unlike the NDP's cap and trade scheme. It is right up the alley of the Conservatives

The Environment   Columbia. That is why the Green Party of Canada is totally in favour of a price on CO2, under a method called “carbon fee and dividend”. People just have to Google it. A big misconception is that people will be directly taxed from a carbon fee, which is not true. The Conservatives

The Environment  , and dangerous foreign oil. Most Canadians support pricing carbon. The Conservatives have so far chosen ideology over evidence and over the desire of most Canadians.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, regulations are a tax and they require growing huge bureaucracy. Carbon fee and dividend is not a tax. Carbon fee and dividend will help solve our dangerously high emission rates while also closing the ever-growing gap between the rich and poor in Canada

The Environment   and too much CO2. We know that more and more Canadians are struggling to make ends meet, and the gap between rich and poor is way too large. We know that both have real economic impacts. With carbon fee and dividend, we have a simple solution that will reduce our greenhouse gas

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the member failed to mention that those coal bans do not come into effect until 2015. They also allow new plants; they just tinker with it a bit. Again, the solution to economic and conservation issues is carbon fee and dividend. Carbon fee and dividend almost

The Environment   not, they will not. It is up to them. The system is called fee and dividend, and I hope members will recognize that it is a much better option than cap and trade or a carbon tax. I know what some will say: putting a price on carbon by any method is a carbon tax, and that will kill jobs. No, fee

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we must price carbon, and a carbon fee and dividend almost does it all. It prices carbon fairly and scientifically. It uses only free market forces to reduce CO2. It costs virtually nothing to administer, it benefits lower-income Canadians, and no money goes

The Environment   for the Paris climate summit is the weakest in the G7. It would only further cement Canada's global reputation as a climate dinosaur. We have two parties with no plan to reduce CO2 and one party with a very bad plan. When will the government start considering carbon fee and dividend
