Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre tabled a motion on Tuesday asking the government to refrain from raising the carbon tax next year, saying it will further fuel inflation.
“The big logical fallacy of the Liberal carbon tax [is that] it drives up the cost of domestic production and drives that production to foreign, more polluting jurisdictions that then require higher transportation costs and more emissions to bring them back to Canadian consumers here at home,” Poilievre said in his House of Commons speech presenting the motion.
