Liberal MP Ken McDonald has once again voted in favour of a Conservative motion that would get rid of the federal carbon tax.

The Feb. 5 motion, sponsored by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, called for the Liberal government to cancel its April 1 carbon tax increase. The vote failed 209–119, with the Tories voting in favour and the Liberals, NDP, Bloc Québécois, and Greens voting against it, with the exception of Mr. McDonald.
