A day after their motion to stop the federal carbon tax from increasing in the new year was defeated, Tories tabled a new motion in the House of Commons to prevent any tax increases on other items.
“Given that the cost of government is driving up inflation, making the price of goods Canadians buy and the interest they pay unaffordable, this House call on the government to commit to no new taxes on gas, groceries, home heating and pay cheques,” says the text of the motion introduced on Sept. 29.
