This is effectively another kind of carbon tax, which adds seven cents a litre and will rise to 17\u00a2 a litre, meaning more costs for drivers, farmers, fishermen and those who transport our food.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9203506\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberal <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> is also hiking the industrial carbon tax on steel, aluminum, plastic and farm equipment. These costs are imposed at home, not abroad, and paid for by Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9203507\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the Liberals accept responsibility for what they can control and cancel their policies that make life more expensive for Canadians?</p>",

Il s'agit en fait d'une autre forme de taxe sur le carbone, qui ajoute en ce moment 7 \u00a2 au prix du litre d'essence. Cet ajout passera bient\u00f4t \u00e0 17 \u00a2 le litre, ce qui occasionnera des co\u00fbts suppl\u00e9mentaires aux automobilistes, aux agriculteurs, aux p\u00eacheurs et \u00e0 ceux qui transportent nos aliments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9203506\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> lib\u00e9ral hausse \u00e9galement la taxe sur le carbone pour les industries de l'acier, de l'aluminium, du plastique et du mat\u00e9riel agricole.
