Stephanie Kusie Conservative
“The European Union may put a carbon tariff on three billion dollars of Canadian goods next year. The Prime Minister is failing on trade and trying to distract Canadians from this problem. I want to know if he has fixed this tariff, or if he plans to raise the industrial carbon tax instead.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is failing on trade. It has been reported that Canada will face a carbon tariff next year from the European Union, which will affect up to three billion dollars’ worth of Canadian exports, yet the Prime Minister is fixated on this associate membership, trying to distract Canadians from the pain he has caused them. When the summit concludes today with the EU, will the Prime Minister announce that he has fixed the potential carbon tariff, or will he announce that he is going to raise the Liberal industrial carbon tax to compensate for the new European Union tariff?”
