Let the spin begin. Will this save the Liberals in Atlantic Canada?

A gentle reminder of how the Liberals treated Atlantic Canada and their concerns when Liberals were not at risk in the polls.

"The bottom line is pricing pollution can at once combat climate change and support families with affordability issues," he said. "And pricing pollution is simply the right thing to do, especially in the current environmental context."

"Climate change is the crisis that will be with us for a long time. Pricing pollution should not be the political issue that many Conservative politicians want it to be — not when anti-pollution policies can be used to both support families with the cost of living and push heavy industries, like oil and gas, to clean up their act."

“If you do the average, yeah, it's true, it's going to cost more money to people, but the people who are paying are the richest among us, which is exactly how the system was designed,” he said.

“So the rich pay more for their carbon consumption and their carbon pollution, and we're supporting, through the transition, middle class Canadians and low income Canadians, and that's exactly what we're doing,” he also said.

“We have said that the rebates would help the people most in need in Canada and that's exactly what the system is doing,” he said.

“Canadians are concerned about the cost of living and about climate change. They are concerned about the impacts of extreme weather events on our communities, our health, and our economy. That is why we have created a pollution pricing system that helps with both. Pollution pricing is the most efficient, effective, and affordable way to lower our emissions and fight climate change. For Atlantic Canadians, the federal price on pollution will put more money back in the pockets of most families, while helping to protect our environment at the same time.”
– The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change
