Feds should strengthen price that biggest polluters face, NDP’s environmnent critic says
Victoria MP Laurel Collins says her party still supports pricing the pollution that results from consumers using fossil fuels amid uncertainty about where the federal NDP stands.
“We have not changed our position on the consumer carbon price,” Collins said in an April 18 interview, adding she wants to see policies expected to land larger greenhouse gas cuts get even more robust. “This analysis clearly demonstrates that climate policy is delivering results – with industrial carbon pricing leading the pack,” the institute’s president Rick Smith said.
“The Liberals caved yet again to the lobbyists in the oil and gas sector and didn’t implement a key policy that could’ve generated revenue to invest in climate solutions and could’ve made some of the biggest polluters pay their fair share,” Collins said. Both the Liberals and the Conservative Party have used the consumer carbon price as a political wedge, Collins said, adding the country’s climate conversation shouldn’t be dominated by one narrow policy piece.
