Finance Committee Votes to Call Former BoC Governor Mark Carney to Testify on Support for Carbon Tax

He said Mr. Carney had criticized the Liberal government’s carbon tax policies in recent months, while previously supporting them.
During an appearance before the Senate banking committee on May 8, Mr. Carney said the federal carbon tax had “served a purpose up until now” and that there needed to be a “credible and predictable” alternative.
“Carney has been willing to appear at elite Liberal-friendly think tanks. He must now have the same courage to testify at a House of Commons committee,” he said.
Mr. Carney has been critical of the Tories’ call to get rid of the carbon tax, claiming during a keynote address at Canada 2020’s Economic Lookahead dinner in Toronto on April 22 that Mr. Poilievre’s approach was “misguided.”
“Remember that when he shouts ‘axe the tax,’ he’s really whispering ‘can the plan’ and leaving us with nothing,” Mr. Carney said of the Conservative Party’s proposal to get rid of the carbon tax.
