Provincial finance ministers press Freeland on carbon tax changes during CPP meeting

A number of provincial finance ministers said they pressed Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on the federal government’s recent changes to the carbon tax during a meeting on Friday. Horner said he and a number of other finance ministers brought up the federal carbon tax during a meeting with federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.

"Canadians remain in the midst of an affordability crisis and the carbon tax continues to hurt us all. While a number of us had hoped to also address this issue during the call, I am very eager to have a fulsome conversation at our next ," he said in a media statement.Even without carbon tax, heating oil still the most expensive way to heat your home

"I called a special meeting. Ministers came to attend the meeting specifically because of that invitation to discuss that subject," she said. "I absolutely recognize that there are a lot of different issues that provinces and territories are interested in."Calls come from more premiers and from the Conservatives to make more exemptions to the federal carbon tax as the prime minister says there will be no more.

Some opposition parties and premiers have said that exemption isn't fair to those who heat their homes with other fuels such as natural gas and propane.
