Don Quixote Note: Mark Warawa (Langley—Aldergrove) brought this private members bill with Local MP Mel Arnold seconding it. This bill failed at second reading. A valiant effort at tax fairness from these 2 MP'S. ( Mel Arnold also was the sponsor of my original petition that was rejected in writing by the Government *see below for links to details and response)
PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA
Whereas:
- The Government of British Columbia instituted a carbon tax in 2008 and the federal government GST (currently at 5%) is still being charged on this carbon tax.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to eliminate the GST being charged on this or any other future carbon tax enacted by the provinces or territories.
