Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie says she will not institute a provincial carbon tax if her party is elected in 2026.
Crombie has been peppered with questions about her party’s stance on the carbon tax since being elected in December, with Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford labelling her as “queen of the carbon tax.”Until now, Crombie has sidestepped answering questions about the policy. Instead, she told reporters the Ford government was using the carbon tax as a distraction tactic and that the party was going to “do their homework” before picking a side.
“Instead, I want robust action on building up public transit systems; investing in electric vehicle infrastructure; reforming land-use planning to build livable, walkable communities; protecting our water, sensitive land, and nature; decarbonizing our energy grid; supporting our farmers; and, most importantly, finding ways to help families save money by helping households become more energy efficient.
The individuals on the panel include MPP Mary-Margaret McMahon, former Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs Carol Mitchell, Executive Director of City Building Research and Innovation at Toronto Metropolitan University Cherise Burda, former Ontario Minister of the Environment Chris Ballard, and Managing Director of Finance and Resilience at the Intact Centre on Climate Adaption Kathryn Bakos.
