The party also aims to "vigorously oppose the imposition of any federal carbon tax," according to its proposed policies. And in the last few days, UCP Leader Jason Kenney has called for a carbon tax referendum. Regulations, in general, end up being about governments "trying to pick the right direction" for cutting carbon emissions, he said. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), meanwhile, says it supports government action to cut carbon emissions that spark innovation and technology. Kenney is clearly gearing up to make the "job-killing carbon tax" a ballot-box issue, come the 2019 election.
