Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says conservative politicians across Canada, including premiers, are lying to Canadians about the carbon price.·Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a housing announcement in Vancouver on Wednesday. Most premiers and the federal Conservatives are pushing the Liberals to at least cancel a scheduled increase of the carbon price on April 1.
Trudeau says those politicians are failing to acknowledge and inform Canadians about carbon-price rebates meant to offset consumers' costs, and he is accusing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of blocking legislation that would double the rebate top-up for rural Canadians. "The goal is not for the big polluters to pay, the goal is for them to emit less," he said, bristling a little during an exchange with New Democrat MP Alexandre Boulerice.
MPs from the three parties, which all endorse carbon pricing, pushed Moe to explain what he would do to cut emissions.Trudeau wrote a letter to premiers on Tuesday suggesting that if they dislike the federal carbon pricing policy so much, they are welcome to produce their own systems to achieve the same results.
About 80 per cent of Saskatchewan households use natural gas for heat, compared with just three per cent that use heating oil.
