Eby pledges to remove Carbon Tax if Ottawa rescinds requirement

NDP leader David Eby says he’ll remove the provincial carbon tax….if the federal government removes the legal requirement that one be in place.

Eby said the idea was a good one years ago but things have changed, with British Columbians facing higher prices, and many are struggling with affordability.

He adds his government would make big polluters pay.

The B-C Conservative party has made a similar pledge to remove the carbon tax if elected on October 19th.
