Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault says he’s been “forced to recognize” the carbon tax has become “very unpopular.”
“Of course, I would like for the consumer component of pricing to continue moving forward, but the reality is that it’s not supported by the NDP. Even some environmental organizations are telling me, ‘listen minister, it’s too unpopular and we have other tools,‘” Guilbeault told Vassy Kapelos in an interview on CTV’s Power Play Wednesday.
When asked by Kapelos why he’s turning away from a policy he’s defended for years, Guilbeault added his government’s climate plan doesn’t rest on one single measure.
