The Provincial Carbon tax made for some discussion in the British Columbia Legislature on Tuesday, with Skeena MLA Ellis Ross noting how the Province's implementation of a Carbon Tax is continuing to cause financial hardship for residents of British Columbia, while padding the Government's budget.
"Lets talk about making life easier, in terms of the two percent of the friends of this House, LNG Canada was given the largest PST Tax Break in BC history, all we're asking is to give citizens of BC the same break.
They were given a break on the Carbon Tax at thirty bucks a tonne, which is something that this side of the House when we were government froze it at, because we realized it meant something good for the people of British Columbia" -- Skeena MLA Ellis Ross
The MLA's commentary making for some back and forth in the Tuesday Question Period, the question for the Premier one that asked
"Why is the Premier making life increasingly unaffordable for British Columbians through his relentless carbon tax hikes"
The answers came by way of two NDP Ministers, Josie Osborne the Minister of Energy and Mines countering the Carbon Tax question with a review of some of their recent initiatives towards assistance to the public in a range of areas.
Housing Minister Ravi Khalon for his part made note of what the NDP calls frequent flip flopping by the Opposition parties.
The full debate was highlighted by the MLA through his social media Stream.
