“The Conservatives supported a carbon tax under their last leader, but they changed their minds when they got a new leader. Does the member agree that they changed their position?”
“Madam Speaker, I have an interesting point. The member no doubt remembers Erin O’Toole. During his time here, the Conservative Party changed and had a position of supporting a carbon tax. Fast-forward to the election of Canada’s new Prime Minister, who indicated before that election that he was going to get rid of the carbon tax. We can see the similarities there: Change in leader, change in policy, new direction. Does the member recognize that as a reality?”
