Debate in House of Commons on BILL C342 - No more GST on Carbon Tax

At this link you can see the Debate on Bill C342 on June 8 in the House of Commons. Fast forward to 17:31 on link to get full debate on Bill C342

At about 18:00 is the start of the Governments Response (effectively saying the Government will not supporr this bill being sent to Committee)

  The bill before us today proposes a tax treatment that is inefficient and fails to support our environmental objectives and priorities. We are proposing to move forward in a clear and cohesive way in co-operation with provinces and municipalities while making sure the middle class and those trying hard to join it are properly protected through a fair and equitable tax system.

    For these reasons, the government opposes this legislation.
