Internal poll finds voters have negative opinion of PCs environmental policies | CBC News
The Progressive Conservative government cancelled the cap-and-trade program introduced by the former Liberal government to lower greenhouse gas emissions and is fighting Ottawa’s carbon tax, which comes into effect Monday.
Their climate plan, unveiled in late November, establishes a fund called the Ontario Carbon Trust, which aims to entice companies to invest in initiatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and proposes to make large industrial companies pay for pollution if they exceed certain emissions standards.
As part of monthly public polling commissioned by the government, Ipsos asked a series of questions in December on the environment, the results of which were obtained by The Canadian Press through a Freedom of Information request.
