Pettapiece discusses carbon tax

A carbon tax may be coming to Ontario.

There’s word that the tax will be part of the Liberal government’s upcoming budget.

Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece says it’s just more of the same from the Liberals:

Some believe the Liberals are looking to take advantage of lower oil prices to ease the tax in.

He wants to know what happens when oil prices go back up:

Pettapiece says new taxes aren’t the way to go:

He believes the average Ontarian is fed up:

A carbon tax would increase the price of things like gasoline.
