Carbon Tax
September 25, 2024
The truth is, Senator Gold, your government thinks that this is all a big joke.
Yesterday, Minister Guilbeault confirmed, as the bad joke that it is, that you will actually be increasing the carbon tax again on April 1. It is not time for a carbon tax increase, Senator Gold; it is time for a carbon tax election. The Liberals don’t mind testing the confidence of the House because they have bought off the NDP and the Bloc, and that is a fact. It is the confidence of the Canadian people that Justin Trudeau has lost, and he will do anything to avoid putting that to the test, won’t he, Senator Gold?
As I get older, I get more nostalgic. I am nostalgic for the days when the Conservative Party of Canada actually believed in market economics. I am nostalgic for the days when senators in this chamber made contributions that were based more on policy than simply talking points from their leader.
