Trudeau government survives no confidence vote over Canada carbon tax rise

PC party leader attends the protest in support of fishermen | SaltWire #newsupdate #newfoundlandOTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government on Thursday survived a no-confidence motion brought by the opposition Conservative Party over Canada's carbon tax, which looks set to be a major issue in an election likely to be held next year.

Trudeau's signature climate policy was introduced in 2019, but it has been opposed by most Canadian provinces. Last year, the government offered a three-year carbon tax exemption for home heating oil and higher carbon tax rebates for people in rural areas, to bring relief amid soaring costs of living.

"Justin Trudeau has created the worst economic conditions since the great depression and Canadians have lost faith in his government," the Conservative party said in a statement."Only Common Sense Conservatives will axe the tax and bring home lower prices for everyone," it added.
