Conservatives discuss carbon tax carve-out bill ahead of Parliament’s return – January 28, 2024

In Ottawa, Senator David Wells and MP Ben Lobb take questions from reporters before attending Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s address to caucus. They comment on the future of Lobb’s private member’s bill (C-234), which calls for certain farm fuels to be exempt from the federal government’s carbon pricing. The legislation will return to the House of Commons this week, with an amendment from the Senate that removes all but fuel for grain drying from that exemption.
