Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
My first questions are for the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce.
In March 2024, your organization called for the end of the Liberal carbon tax. Your organization reported that “Two-thirds of Atlantic Canadian businesses report experiencing negative consequences, with a majority indicating the impact of the carbon tax is extremely negative.”
How has the carbon tax impacted some of your seasonal employers, particularly those in sectors that are reliant on heavy fuel use?
