Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for a “massive pressure campaign” to push the governing Liberals to help pass a piece of legislation that would remove the carbon tax from fuels used in some agricultural activities.
“My message to Canadians is: Call your Liberal MP, tell them to get Justin Trudeau out of the way,” Poilievre said about the prime minister, during a news conference in Vancouver on Monday.
Poilievre was speaking in favour of a private member’s bill put forward by Conservative MP Ben Lobb. Bill C-234 passed the House of Commons in March, mostly supported by opposition parties. It’s now in the Senate, but procedural wrangling has delayed a vote on it until later this month.
