BC United and Conservative Party of BC leaders say it's time to scrap carbon tax
BC United leader Kevin Falcon has promised to eliminate the carbon tax on all fuels for British Columbians if his party is elected in next year’s provincial election.
“The other issue is eliminating the carbon tax on home heating fuel and eliminating the tax on fuels for farm tractors and farm use and hopefully provide some relief in the food chain so that we’ll see lower prices at the end of the day in supermarkets.” “It’s going to go to $170 a tonne within five to seven years, which is unsustainable for people’s pocket books.”
Rustad is critical of Eby’s support for carbon pricing on fuel and natural gas heat and has no intention of scrapping it, as the two opposition parties would.
