This week, radio ads will be released in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick, stressing that money raised from Trudeau’s carbon tax will be rebated directly to residents in those provinces
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responds to a question during Question Period in the House of Commons on Feb. 27, 2019 in Ottawa.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will try to shift the focus from the SNC-Lavalin affair to his preferred campaign battleground – climate change – with the release this week of the Liberal party’s first election-year ads.
According to the ads, an average family of four will receive more than $600 this year in Saskatchewan, more than $300 in Ontario and Manitoba and more than $250 in New Brunswick.“We have a strong plan to fight it, one that leading scientists and economists support. It makes polluters pay and gives the money back to people.”
Trudeau is also scheduled to visit Monday with a Mississauga family to “highlight the climate action incentive payment.” Trudeau has insisted that he and others only wanted Wilson-Raybould to consider the impact of a prosecution on the viability of the Montreal engineering giant and its 9,000 Canadian employees, but they were always clear that it was up to her alone, as attorney general, to decide whether to intervene.
