Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre Calls for "Carbon Tax Election"

In an address to his party's caucus on Parliament Hill, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre proposes the next federal vote should be a "carbon tax election." He calls for a pause on the federal carbon price on all home heating until Canadians head to the polls. The proposal comes in wake of the Trudeau government's recent decision to exempt the federal fuel charge on home heating oil deliveries for three years. The pause primarily benefits rural and Atlantic Canadians. The Conservative leader also discusses his party's motion to extend the pause to all forms of home heating. (November 1, 2023)
