Trudeau Government Faces Backlash Over Carbon Tax Report Gag Order on PBO
Jun 3, 2024, 06:21 PM
The Trudeau government is facing significant political backlash over its carbon tax policy. The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), Yves Giroux, revealed to the Commons finance committee that the government conducted an economic analysis showing the negative impact of the federal carbon tax on the economy. However, the government has instructed the PBO not to disclose this report, effectively placing a gag order on him. Critics argue that the carbon tax is costing tens of millions of Canadians more, and there are calls for increased transparency. The controversy has intensified political debates, with some suggesting that the upcoming election could focus heavily on the carbon tax issue and efforts to help global emissions.
