Poilievre calls for answers as newly-released report forecasts carbon tax economic impact on Canada

Debate on the price of pollution boiled over Thursday as Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre stated that the “carbon tax cover-up has now been exposed,” during question period in the House of Commons. “The economic vandalism and carbon tax cover-up of this government has now been exposed,” Poilievre alleged, saying that the Liberal government had “leaked out” the real figures and “the economic hit Canada will take — originally reported at $20 billion — with inflation it’s $30 billion a year or almost $2,000 for every single family in Canada.”
