Of course they support this carbon tax. It is not a big expense for them when they have chauffeured limousines paid for by the company, especially if they are one of the companies that has the 90% exemption the Liberal government has provided to the large industrial corporations. The reality is that small businesses have no similar exemption. Why will small businesses, like a local corner store, pay more while large corporations, with their well-paid CEOs, get off?</p>",

Il est \u00e9vident qu'ils appuient la taxe sur le carbone. \u00c9tant donn\u00e9 que leur limousine avec chauffeur est pay\u00e9e par leur employeur, il ne s'agit pas d'une grosse d\u00e9pense pour eux, surtout si leur employeur est l'une des grandes entreprises industrielles qui b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient de l'exemption de 90 % accord\u00e9e par le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral. La r\u00e9alit\u00e9, c'est que les petites entreprises n'ont droit \u00e0 aucune exemption semblable. Pourquoi les petites entreprises, comme le d\u00e9panneur du coin, paieraient-elles davantage alors que les grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s et leurs PDG bien r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s s'en tirent \u00e0 bon compte?</p>"
