Trudeau Accuses the Premiers and Conservative Leader Poilievre of Lying About the Cost of the Carbon Tax

EXCERPT:

TRUDEAU: "The facts matter. The premiers, conservative premiers specifically, are misleading Canadians. The conservative opposition in Ottawa and Pierre Poilievre are not telling the truth to Canadians. The parliamentary budget officer himself says very clearly that 8 out of 10 families across the country do better with the Canada carbon rebate because we have put a price on pollution. It is more money in the pockets of families right across the  country at a time when more money is needed, and it's concrete action to fight climate change at a time where we're seeing the impacts of extreme weather events, floods, fires, droughts. Conservatives are ideologically opposed to fighting climate change, to making polluters, even big polluters pay, and we put a price on pollution that makes sure that people are looking for ways to reduce their emissions, and families, particularly low-income and middle-income families, do better, with more money in their pockets to continue to raise their families and build a future. That's what our price on pollution is all about, and that's what the conservatives, politicians across the country are trying to mislead Canadians on."
