Part 6/9:
The carbon tax was a focal point of contention, with notable opposition from the Honorable member for North Okanagan-Shuswap and others who warned of its adverse effects on Canadian jobs and economic stability. Critics argue that the tax exacerbates inflation and pushes households into financial hardship. These concerns were met with rebuttals from government members, who championed the tax as necessary for environmental sustainability and reducing overall costs for Canadians.
