Justin Trudeau Stands by His Policy to Put a Price on Carbon Emissions, Saying ‘It Just Makes Sense’

The Conservative Leader, Pierre Poilievre puts forward a notice to the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau stating that his party is planning to force “multiple votes” on the planned April 1 carbon tax increase.

However the prime minister, Justin Trudeau is standing by his policy. “Putting a price on carbon emissions just makes sense,” he says while answering questions asked by the reporters regarding the growing concern of the conflict with the pollution pricing and rebate system.

In his response, he mentions about the leading “political misinformation and disinformation” around the liberal climate change plan and described it to be the easy solution for “short term thinker politicians” to call for it to end.

The prime minister said that he feels strongly about not pushing the problem off to future generations, and he thinks the “market-based” carbon pricing approach is “cleaner.”

“My job is not to be popular—although it helps— my job is to do the right things for Canada now, and do the right things for Canadians a generation from now,” Trudeau said.

“And yeah, it’s not always popular, but I know that doing the right things today… is going to make a huge difference in the path we take forward.”

He mentions that everyone is stressed out with the cost of living while adding about the changing climate conditions which is another concern in the life of Canadians.
