Claiming that “climate change is killing people in Canada,” Liberal environment minister Steven Guilbeault has said that he opposes provincial governments reducing the cost of fuel by cutting gas taxes,
claiming the recent move by Alberta and Ontario was counterproductive to the government’s climate goals.
“It goes against our efforts to fight climate change,” said Guilbeault. We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that we’ve gone through a pandemic, there’s a terrible crisis happening in Ukraine, we’re seeing inflation.”
“But all of these crises will go, and climate change will still be there, and climate change is killing people in Canada. They’re just going for the easy solution, and probably one that is short-term in terms of political popularity.”
