Madam Speaker, thanks for the opportunity to repeat this. The member for Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge said in the B.C. legislature, “Independent studies have found that between 2008 and 2012, fuel use in B.C. dropped by 16 percent per capita. In 2015, a review of seven independent studies suggested that B.C.’s carbon tax has reduced emissions in the province by up to 15 percent.” These are not my words. These are the words of the member for Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge when he was part of a government in British Columbia that introduced a price on pollution.
In the House of Commons on September 28th, 2023. See this statement in context.
