Petition to the House of Commons
  
    We, the undersigned citizens of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
     Whereas, the Liberal carbon tax makes life more expensive for millions of Canadians across the country. As a tax on everything the carbon tax will mean Canadians will pay more for groceries, home heating and gasoline.
     Whereas, the Liberal carbon tax negatively affects important Canadian industries, including agriculture and the energy industry that employ hundreds of thousands of Canadians.
     Whereas, we need the energy industry and agriculture to drive our economic recovery and to paydown our massive debt load while protecting core services.
    Whereas, the newly announced carbon tax hike will raise the carbon tax to federal carbon tax to $170 a tonne, increasing the price you pay at the pump by at least 37.57 cents a litre.
     Whereas, in the last election — only a year ago the Liberals promised not to raise the carbon tax.
     Whereas, the Alberta Court of Appeal ruled the federal carbon tax was unconstitutional and it is currently before the Supreme Court.
     Therefore we, the undersigned, call on the House of Commons to end the federal carbon tax.
