The Commons yesterday rejected a Conservative motion to hold a springtime carbon tax election. The vote on the non-confidence motion followed a raucous, day-long debate.

“Big government has left poor people,” said Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre. “What we want is precisely the opposite.”

Poilievre sponsored the motion asking “that the House declare non-confidence in the Prime Minister and his costly government for increasing the carbon tax 23 percent on April 1 as part of his plan to quadruple the tax while Canadians cannot afford to eat, heat and house themselves, and call for the House to be dissolved so Canadians can vote in a carbon tax election.”
