“Let me be clear – Nova Scotia supports action on climate change but doesn’t support a carbon tax of any amount on home heating oil at this time. It’s incomprehensible to me that the federal government doesn’t agree,” he said.
“That’s because people in our rural communities need to drive. They don’t have options to ride a bike to work, take the bus or – as a federal minister suggested – use the subway.

In responding to reporters’ questions, both Mr. Guilbeault and Mr. O’Regan pushed back against affordability concerns, insisting the new system would not hurt Newfoundland and Labrador residents who use heating oil in their homes.
