Shocka! MPs vote down Poilievre’s push to expand carbon price pause

The motion by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to have Ottawa extend its carbon price pause to all forms of home heating has been defeated as the Bloc Quebecois joined the Liberals to vote down the motion.

The non-binding motion, which meant it would not need to be acted on by the government, had the support of the NDP, but still failed to get a majority with 135 voting in favour while 186 voted against.
