The other things that are being added are fuel regulations, and I would point out that the Conservative Party has also already introduced fuel regulations. So we can't talk about multiple carbon

In the price at the pump for Canadians across the country, the carbon tax went up by two cents last year, and those profits went up 18¢. We know that this government has already put in place a windfall tax on excess profits. They call

That is a topic that I

Having them come to explain that, I think, is important. I just want to make sure that everyone recognizes that, when we comment

Finance committee   negatively impacting the economy from an inflationary perspective, I'm open to those ideas. One of the things I've been hearing at this meeting has been about what you call the “carbon tax”, or the price on pollution. I'm going to say to all of us that this is a very dangerous road

The Liberals have been persistent in their misinformed statements that the carbon tax is a net positive for Canadians. The Parliamentary

Business of Supply  , the carbon tax. The government has been in power for eight years. It brought in a first tax and took certain measures. Looking at the results after eight years, we see that there have been no reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. I am told that there was a drop at one point
