Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismisses requests for additional exemptions on the carbon tax, stating that the temporary exemption on home heating oil is a done deal and there will be no other exemptions for sources like natural gas.
OTTAWA —- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said any other carve-outs or suspensions on the carbon tax are out of the question, amid pressures from provinces and groups who are asking for a similar exemption than the one made to Atlantic Canadians.
“When we decided to phase out coal as a country, there were provinces that were long gone from coal,” said Trudeau. “It didn’t help them at all that we were phasing out coal because they had already done it. Others needed to step up to do it.” Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan just recently made the switch from home heating oil to heat pumps, and said the difference is “unbelievable”.
Conservative MP Clifford Small, from Newfoundland and Labrador, used a Halloween analogy to get his point across the aisle.
