The province wants to know where the opposition stands on the carbon tax.

Shelburne MLA Nolan Young says with winter coming and skyrocketing fuel prices, it’s going to be a challenging season for many Nova Scotians.

He asks if Zach Churchill and the Liberals support their federal colleagues with the carbon tax, or stand with hard working Nova Scotians.

“The carbon tax is making life less affordable and it’s time the Liberals join Premier Houston and stand up to their federal Liberal colleagues and oppose the Liberal carbon tax,” said Young.

Churchill says they have opposed it, and tried to negotiate an alternative when in power.

“The Carbon Tax is not a policy that’s helping us, especially in rural Nova Scotia. We don’t have the capacity for electric vehicle charging stations right now,” said Churchill.

He adds the province shouldn’t be focused on finger pointing, and should be working to find solutions.

Young says the PC government has offered Ottawa a sensible plan for a greener future that would lower emissions without implementing the tax.
