FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Conservative Leader John Rustad released the following statement:

"Premier Eby, get your hands out of British Columbians’ pockets — and scrap the Liberal-NDP carbon tax!"

"I’m going to be crystal clear — the Federal Liberal—BC NDP carbon tax does absolutely NOTHING to help our environment. If it did, Trudeau’s Liberals would not be removing it from home heating oil in Atlantic Canada."

"The reality is, BC’s carbon tax is only about one thing — taking more of your money for Premier Eby’s big spending BC NDP government." "I have a clear message for NDP Premier Eby: Premier Eby, get your hands out of British Columbians’ pockets — and scrap the Liberal-NDP carbon tax!"

"British Columbia must stand with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, and all of Western Canada, against Ottawa’s unequal approach that puts Eastern Canadian vote-buying above fairness for ALL Canadians — and, which leaves British Columbian families out in the cold."

"The Conservative Party of British Columbia will axe the carbon tax; we will stand with hardworking everyday British Columbian families, and we will never back down or backtrack — we’re going to be straight up, and we’re going to oppose this NDP-Liberal coalition."
