Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his government would completely remove the carbon tax for both consumers and industrial emitters, adding that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recently signed directive does not go far enough.
“A common sense, Canada-first Conservative government will repeal the entire carbon tax, including the federal backstop that requires provinces to impose industrial taxes,” Poilievre said during a March 17 press conference in L’Orignal, Ont.
