Letter: Local MPs show ‘blatant disregard’ for area residents

Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the op-ed by Nickel Belt MP Marc Serré entitled “Opinion: Don’t buy the Conservative line on carbon tax, Serré says” that was published March 27.

Mr. Serré and other Liberal MPs, like Viviane Lapointe , have forgotten their true role in parliament. Serré and Lapointe have forsaken their duty to represent the people of their ridings in favour of supporting a leader who has lost control of a bloated government. This government is lacking any fiscal responsibility let alone the capability of administering a carbon tax. Canada now is suffering with a $40-billion deficit with an escalating national debt of $2.18 trillion. However, when looking to finance Canada's "downside scenario" between 2024 and 2026, it is possible the deficit could balloon to $10 billion more than Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's baseline projection.

The bulk of the carbon tax funds collected will stay in general revenues and are not specifically directed to reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, becoming another potential source of funds left at the hands of government incompetence.
