Just another tax to pay for their mansions.

Wow. Canadian legislation is like watching Jerry Springer here in the US.

[MetalAsFork]

Too much applause and grandstanding. This conversation should take less than half the time. Canadians don't have time to watch an hour of questions not being answered, we're busy working underpaid jobs to keep up with bills.

Stick to the facts. Give us the numbers on this proposed tax, and convince us we need to implement it. Bringing up Harper's reign without referencing any numbers is useless.

Grow up and do your goddamn jobs.

I hate that this channel blocks comments so often, really annoying.

[scorpfl]

It's a simple question.... how much will a Canadian family have to pay with this carbon tax. Just answer the question.
Is this the kind of crap my tax dollar goes to. A waste of time. Nothing gets resolved, nothing is achieved. If you ran a business this way you'd be out of business.
If you can't project a value then you haven't researched the issue. Which leads me to think it's just a good idea, we'll implement it and see how it goes.
At the expense of the consumer, family and business. Guinea pigs we are.

Catherine should be fired for discompetence

[rusirius]

highest taxed most monopolized G7 country. Leadership for corporate interests more like it

[stevelindsay]

One more year left, bye bye Liberals welcome back Conservatives

[theslimeylimey]

CO2 isnt pollution. Its no more a pollutant than oxygen.

[Xenophene]

Each side asks the same questions over and over and give non answers.

[a.k.a.watchmenwakeup]

I but the security is at an all time high getting into parliament today.

[Xenophene]

The carbón tax should used for alternative energy.

[garygarside]

It’s called question period, not answer period

[dantasticguy]

I think we need a cutout of Stephen Harper in the HoC

[XNicx]

Best option is to liquidate most petroleum businesses and put it towards environmentaly friendly battery construction. Graphene, hemp batteries, etc.

[ccogswell]

Aren't we carbon based, lol exactly.

[XNicx]

What is the right direction for wealth?

[michealross]

So Canadians have to pay for an imaginary fee called carbon tax in the future eh? What system has been created to measure carbon tax? Who profits most from pollution? Most of all, who in the government actually understands the perception of the "Working Class" Canadians and can relate to the hardship of having to pay a Tax on top of a Tax?
Its bad enough the cost of fuel keeps increasing, and now were being told were paying a Carbon tax on top of a higher fuel cost.
Make your lives easier people, Don't Vote Liberals! Exile them from Canadian politics.

Il n'y a pas que les Français qui ont un con prétentieux à la tête du pays, je vois que les Canadiens sont pas mal aussi.
