Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition on the subject of carbon taxes as recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as well as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
Although some might think the petition is now out of date, since we have not seen any legislation yet before the House, the petitioners request that the carbon price be organized under the principle of carbon fee and dividend, in which carbon fees are collected at source and the amounts are returned to each of the taxpayers through whatever jurisdiction applies the tax.
The petitioners ask the House of Commons to examine fee and dividend as a preferred method.
