Michael Cooper Conservative
“The carbon tax has been a bad policy from the start. The Liberals got rid of the consumer carbon tax, but they kept a hidden tax on industry. This tax is making everything cost more, which shows the government's poor management.”
“Mr. Speaker, I understand the issue the member has raised. It underscores what a debacle and poorly thought-out policy the carbon tax was from start to finish that the Liberal government kept in place for years, which Conservatives called on it to abolish. Of course, it technically has scrapped the consumer carbon tax, but has maintained a hidden industrial carbon tax that is increasing the cost of everything. Therefore, yes, I agree that it underscores total Liberal incompetence and mismanagement.”
