Will Erin O’Toole embrace a carbon tax? Some of his MPs are worried he will, insiders say
OTTAWA—There are growing concerns within the federal Conservative caucus that leader Erin O’Toole will move the party towards accepting a carbon tax, the Star has learned. O’Toole has ruled out maintaining the Liberal government’s existing carbon tax. “It’s widespread,” said one party source, when asked about concerns among Conservative MPs that O’Toole will pitch a carbon-pricing scheme. In February, O’Toole promised to present Canadians a “very detailed plan” for the Conservative party to cut emissions. “So I think millennials will see, maybe this isn’t your father’s Conservative party,” O’Toole said.
