Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer told a town hall tonight that his first job as prime minister would be to repeal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's climate change plan. The national price on carbon is "a tax on commuters and a free pass for polluters," Scheer said. Scheer also accused Trudeau's government of signing an updated NAFTA trade deal that made concessions while getting nothing in return. The Conservative leader said the deal was especially bad for Canada's dairy farmers. He said he expects the Conservatives will target a number of key issues, including the Liberals' carbon tax plan.
