Mr. Speaker, the leader of the NDP still refuses to answer a simple question: does he support a carbon tax?
The facts clearly show that he does. During a 2012 leadership race debate, he said he would raise money by imposing a carbon tax. This plan appears in the policy document. The NDP's platform even sets out in black and white that the party plans to raise $21 billion in revenue by imposing a carbon tax.
We all know that the leader of the NDP has had trouble with numbers in the past. Is it possible that he is confused?
To simplify, will the leader of the NDP clearly tell us whether or not he will impose a carbon tax that would raise the price on everything? Can he explain what he means by the $21 billion in revenue he expects to generate from carbon?
