Today Minister Phillips issued the following statement in response to the notice of reference regarding the constitutionality of the Federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act:<\/p>\n
“The recent election was a decisive referendum on carbon taxation. We heard the people loud and clear: Ontario cannot afford a carbon tax.<\/em><\/p>\n That is why our government took immediate action to introduce the Cap and Trade Cancellation Act which, if passed, will lower the price of gasoline, and save the average family $260 a year.<\/em><\/p>\n Our Government also promised to use every tool at our disposal to challenge the federal government’s authority to impose a carbon tax on the people of Ontario.<\/em><\/p>\n Today marks a milestone in those efforts as Ontarians now have a clear timeline of how the case will proceed before the courts.<\/em><\/p>\n Our government made a promise to the people of Ontario to provide relief, make life more affordable and improve conditions for job-creators in our province. That’s a promise we will keep every step of the way.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sep 7, 2018 @ 18:07 Today Minister Phillips issued the following statement in response to the notice of reference regarding the constitutionality of the Federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act: “The recent election was a decisive referendum on carbon taxation.
