Taxation rather than a spending problem. These insinuations have led to concerns especially in Alberta that the government is considering the institution of a carbon tax to be paid by the producers and users of fossil fuels. As the Minister of Natural Resources and as the member for Edmonton

Taxation Mr. Speaker, I have one further supplementary for the minister. This is a terrible question for a new minister. If the federal budget, notwithstanding the minister's strong representations, were to contain a carbon tax or the repeal of the Public Utilities Income Tax Transfer

Speech From The Throne a few things in the speech. There was no mention of agriculture or very little. I have concerns also about natural resources. I am very concerned this government may be considering taxes on petroleum products or a carbon tax. It may be tempted to go that route, but it would have

Speech From The Throne a headline which said: "Our finance minister says Canada can stand more tax". Canada cannot stand more tax. Taxes kill jobs. If the Liberals wonder why western Canadians are uptight about the potential imposition of a carbon tax they need only look at the results of the national energy

Speech From The Throne of the biggest coal mines in the country. For more than three years federal politicians, including some members of the present government, have been musing about the imposition of a carbon tax, a tax on fossil fuels which would be cleverly disguised as an environmental levy.

Pre-Budget Consultations are very much still in the balance and on trial. Rumours have persisted for weeks, to the point at which they are now considered more than rumours, that the finance minister is considering imposing a carbon tax on the producers and consumers of fossil fuels.

Taxation Mr. Speaker, I must say the first time I heard somebody raise the issue of a carbon tax was when it was raised by the leader of the Reform Party. I would also say that when I was in Calgary I met with groups on that particular issue. I am certainly prepared between now

The Budget proposals for reducing RRSP contribution levels and for instituting new taxes like a carbon tax. The fact remains that too many Canadians are responding to excessive taxation by going into the underground economy or taking their capital out of the country. Those of us who recognize

The Budget a carbon tax was of great concern to some Albertans prior to the budget speech. The Minister of Finance did not impose a carbon tax. In addition, the Minister of Finance did not reduce tax rebates for privately owned utilities. One of the things this new government will accentuate
