Trudeau, Poilievre spar over carbon pricing exemption as topic heats up Parliament

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the leader of the Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday debated the government's exemption on carbon pricing for home heating oil, which was announced last week by Trudeau.

Despite arguments by premiers and the federal opposition that the pause on a price on carbon for home heating oil primarily benefits those living in Atlantic provinces, Trudeau said Tuesday that it is "used right across the country."

"It [home heating oil] is dirtier, more emitting than natural gas," Trudeau said, adding that the carve-out was meant to speed up the transition away from home heating oil.

"He admits that he's keeping the tax on cleaner and lower-emitting natural gas," Poilievre said.

"The price on pollution applied to natural gas does put more money back in the pockets of eight out of ten Canadians across the country," Trudeau argued.
