As questions continue to surround the federal NDP’s support for the federal carbon tax, Premier David Eby signalled his on-going support for the provincial version.
Speaking at an unrelated event in North Vancouver, Eby warned against removing the provincial carbon tax, which the B.C. Liberals introduced in 2008, then survived a provincial election in 2009.
He said the tax has become so “entrenched through multiple governments,” that its removal would result in a double-digit increase of personal and corporate taxes.
