Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will press for the removal of the Clean Fuel Regulations, which he referred to as the “carbon tax 2.0,” when Parliament returns this fall.

“What did the last carbon tax add to your gas? Seventeen cents a litre,” Poilievre said during a media event in Prince Edward Island on Aug. 27. “The new tax is starting to look a lot like the old tax.”
