Business of Supply   as a result of the carbon tax.” Stats Canada figures prove that without the carbon tax applied to home heating, the inflation rate would decline. I have a couple of questions. They hired over 400 employees to administer the plan at a cost of $200 million. Do we know how many trees

Government Operations committee  If we assume that the impact is 0.15%, this means that inflation is a little higher because of the carbon tax. For example, inflation without the carbon tax will be 2.85%, and with the carbon tax, it will be 3%.

Carbon Pricing  , that the carbon tax itself was contributing 0.4% to the inflation rate in Canada. Instead of 6.8%, without the carbon tax, we would have an inflation rate of 6.4%. That amount is going to increase by about 1.3 times, so about 0.52% of our inflation rate is going to be part and parcel

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Nova Scotia surpassed the Liberal federal government's 2030 emission targets already and will reach net zero by 2050 without a carbon tax, but those Liberals today are imposing one. That carbon tax is going to add $360 to a tank of home heating oil when 40

Carbon Pricing   struggled last winter, and now their oil bill has nearly doubled. That is without the carbon tax. In the new year, the carbon tax will add another 20% to their home heating bill. Will the Liberal government stop forcing the carbon tax down the throats of Canadians?

Finance committee   in the recent COP report. This tax policy is a failure as an environmental policy, I think, and clearly, if we've been driven down to 58 out of 63.... Candidly, the Harper government had a much better record on emissions than the Trudeau government. That's just the fact. Without the carbon

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1 (Targeted Tax Relief)   on the logistics chain, and it is compounded and then passed on to consumers. However, it has not reduced our emissions in Canada. In the U.S., there has been a reduction in emissions without a carbon tax. I wonder if the parliamentary secretary can explain to the House how that could

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, the minister does not know that the program only covers 3% of the people in Atlantic Canada. What are the other 97% supposed to do? Nova Scotia has surpassed the 2030 carbon reduction emission targets and will reach net zero by 2050 without a carbon tax. Nova Scotia

Agriculture committee   the federal government put more research into this? I know that even with natural gas prices, with or without the carbon tax, that can still be a very volatile fuel source on international markets, so that stability won't always be there as much as farmers would like. Please give us what

Natural Resources committee  I know the committee has heard from Professor Jaccard on this matter. Strictly speaking, from an economics perspective, these targets could be reached without a carbon tax. I think that from a practical perspective, when I look at where Canada is today, my answer is, no, we

Agriculture committee   it. There are no programs that are designed around that. We just cobble together what we can as programs come and go. I would encourage you, when you're doing your programs, to think of conservation. Each of those 50 factories will save $350 for every tonne of carbon they avoid. That's without a carbon

Public Accounts committee  Yes, so Mr. Leswick misspoke there. In addition, is that GST always returned to Canadians, or is that an additional cost that wouldn't exist without the carbon tax that's not always returned to the taxpayers?

Environment committee  Yes, there's been lots of academic research done on the B.C. carbon tax. It's the perfect study that economists love to do, a nice case study. It's shown that emissions would have gone up much more without the carbon tax in there. The example I use with my students is that I

Business of Supply   that its carbon emissions had already dropped by 14%, which is better than half of the Canadian provinces. The Prime Minister rejected that plan and imposed the tax anyway. Why? It is because P.E.I. said that it would meet its emissions reduction targets without a carbon tax

Environment committee  , which is the challenge that you face as well. That's why I offer the technology, to increase the elasticity of demand, so that the impact upon people is less and they have an opportunity to save energy, save money, and reduce carbon emissions without the carbon taxes. That's
