Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchiOTTAWA — As one MP put it this week, parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux has been in the news “almost as much” as Taylor Swift these days, as the parties debate his studies of the federal carbon tax’s impact on Canadians’ wallets.
Conservative MP Phil Lawrence asked Giroux whether there is ultimately “more money coming into Canadians’ pockets or leaving their pockets” for those where the backstop applies. The PBO noted that the tax minus the rebates is “broadly progressive,” meaning that lower-income households would benefit more than higher income households.
On average, households in Alberta would be paying $2,773 in net losses and those in Ontario would be paying $1,820 by 2030-31, according to the PBO’s estimates. Lower-income households would continue to benefit from a net gain, while higher-income households would pay more. Liberal MP Irek Kusmierczyk challenged Giroux this week and said it “boggles the mind” that the PBO did not account for the costs of climate change in its carbon tax analysis.
