Environment Minister Catherine McKenna admits carbon tax will boost the price at the pump in 4 provinces
"Yes, let's be clear. The price of gas will go up just over four cents," McKenna told host Evan Solomon during an interview for CTV Question Period, airing Sunday.
"Andrew Scheer here," reads the text. "Trudeau's carbon tax will raise gas prices on Monday. So fill your tank!""They have no climate plan. They spend all their time fighting and putting out misinformation about our plan," she said. "I think it is incumbent on the Conservatives to say what their plan is."
In October 2018 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report insisting that the world is on track to fail to keep global warming below 2 C, which was the goal laid out in the 2015 Paris climate change agreement. "These targets, let's be clear, are years out. Of course we need to continue to take action," she said.
