Показать описание
Debate on the price of pollution boiled over Thursday as Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre stated that the "carbon tax cover-up has now been exposed," during question period in the House of Commons.
"The economic vandalism and carbon tax cover-up of this government has now been exposed," Poilievre alleged, saying that the Liberal government had "leaked out" the real figures and "the economic hit Canada will take — originally reported at $20 billion — with inflation it's $30 billion a year or almost $2,000 for every single family in Canada."
Poilievre's comments were in reference to the release of a report created for the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) forecasting the economic impact of the industrial carbon tax on Canada, as well as other pertinent forecasted figures such as the total percentage of emissions saved.
Environment Minister of Canada Steven Guilbeault shot back saying "the Conservative Party of Canada are entitled to their opinion, not their own sets of facts Mr. Speaker. The facts are clear — eight out of 10 families get more money back from carbon pricing than it costs them.”
