PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA
  
    We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
    Whereas:
    
      
        The carbon tax is set to continually rise each year until 2030, which will add an extra 38 cents per litre at the gas station;
      
    
    
      
        The carbon tax drives up the cost of everyday essentials, including gas, groceries and heating and makes life very expensive for Canadians;
      
    
    
      
        The Bank of Canada has said that the carbon tax has increased the impact of inflation by close to 0.5%;
      
    
    
      
        The carbon tax is an added expense to Canadian businesses while also creating an economic disadvantage compared to other nations; and
      
    
    
      
        CO2 emissions have only increased under the Liberal government.
      
    
    Therefore we, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to:
    1) End the carbon tax and charging GST on the carbon tax, which harms businesses, families and our economy;
    2) Reduce inflation and government spending; and
    3) Approve pipelines and other projects, especially LNG pipelines, to get clean ethical Canadian energy to tidewater and international markets.
