EDMONTON — Erin O’Toole acknowledged a long-simmering sentiment within Conservative circles on Saturday: the Tory leader’s carbon-pricing scheme is not universally beloved among the party faithful.
Under the plan, unveiled in April as a loyalty-card style of carbon pricing, consumers would see what they pay on fuel stored into an account that can be used for green purchases later.
“It does price carbon and I do get some questions about it and some people frustrated about that, but it shows my commitment,” O’Toole said.
