grab; it’s not an environmental policy. I am very concerned about this because it will target and disproportional harm the type of communities I represent in the Lakeland; it will be burdensome to rural Canadians, and to farmers and to communities that rely on oil and gas development and to Canadians that live in remote and northern communities.” “The other part that is troubling is that the carbon tax will also be disproportionately harmful to the most vulnerable Canadians; people who are unemployed and have no income, fixed-income and the working-poor. Often their energy costs are disproportion to the income they have and the carbon tax will just increase all of that and even more,” Stubbs continued. “The Federal Government hasn’t said much about a rebate for this; but even if they do give a rebate, it will not be enough to compensate the increase in costs of groceries and fuel and all these other products.” “The Federal Government is trying to say that the carbon tax will be revenue mutual for the Federal Government but it won’t be revenue mutual for Canadians and there is no guaranteed it will be revenue mutual the way provinces manage it either,” Stubbs explained. Stubbs said the Federal Government said the carbon tax needs to be in place to reduce emissions but we can look at British Columbia and they have a carbon tax of $30 a ton that has been in place since 2008 but emissions in B.C. has increased every year since 2010. “So, we have proof that a broad-based carbon tax like the Federal Government said needs to happen do not significantly reduced emissions. They also saw no significant decreases in gasoline purchases. They had economic growth in B.C. but it is all in the cities and economic growth in the rural areas has virtually collapsed in B.C. The flip-side of that is that Canadian’s emissions overall declined, so by 2014, overall Canadian’s emissions were 1% lower than 2006 levels and that was with no Federal Carbon Tax. “We would prefer regulatory innovation initiatives to enhance environmental management. The previous government was working through a sector-by-sector regulatory approach where they had already implemented emissions limits on vehicles and trucks. They were consulting in each of these sectors to set limits that
could be reasonably achieved and not devastate these sectors economically. They were also targeting pollutions and investing in carbon capture tech. and innovative initiatives to increase environmentally sustainable oil and gas development and they were considering incentives for individuals to increase energy efficiency in their daily lives, and they were establishing limits and planning for reductions in coal-fired electricity, and they planned to do other measures.” “Alberta does better with responsible oil and gas development than any other country or jurisdiction on the planet. In Alberta, we produce the most environmentally responsible agriculture and the most environmentally responsible oil and gas. But we should be having fact-based discussions about environmental policies that will actually achieve environmental stewardship; not a carbon tax which is just a fiscal tool and has nothing to do with the environmental policy,” said Stubbs. “The Liberals are trying to say that this carbon tax will earn us a social license internationally. Alberta was the first jurisdiction in all of North American to regulate emissions and to implement a carbon levy. They implemented a $15 a ton carbon levy on major industrial in 2003. If this earns a social license, Alberta earned this a long time ago but more than a decade later, we have to plead with municipal politicians and provincial politicians across Canada and internationally to get access to export markets and to establish pipeline infrastructure. All we would do now with a carbon tax is make things worse at the very worse time when our energy structure is already struggling,” reflected Stubbs. “Also, it’s important for Canada to make this decision in a global context because the Federal Liberals are saying that the carbon tax has to be done to meet our international commitments. The United States is our biggest energy customer and is becoming our biggest energy competitor and is the second largest emitting country in the world, neither of its presidential candidates are going to impose a carbon tax and none of the six major oil and gas producing countries in the world in which Canada is one, are implementing carbon taxes on themselves. The reason they are not doing that is it would be bad for their competitiveness, their economies, and their key industries. Canada accounts for only 1.6% of global emissions,” Stubbs stated.

Stubbs continued on to say that the Hearing Panel for the Energy East pipeline got derailed and the government hasn’t reappointed it yet and the process is on hold for this one piece of infrastructure that would bring Western Canadian energy to Eastern Canadian refineries. This would create Canadian jobs that would all be produced and transported under Canadian standards, which are the highest in the world and then we wouldn’t have to import from other countries. “We have been very active on all the issues that are damaging the investment climate and the competitiveness within Canada. The key components of economic growth are low taxes, certainty in a regulatory environment and in the market, and trade and streamlined red tape and regulations. That is why we have been very active when the Federal Government spoke about increases payroll taxes which will be very devastating for small businesses and could hurt all businesses. We are pressing them to complete international deals. “We just launched an Alberta Job Taskforce that is being led by myself and my two colleague and we are going to be working on providing concrete solutions to the government based on feedback we get from Albertans and Alberta businesses over the next several months on concrete actions that could be taken to help the job crisis in Alberta. We have been urging the Federal Government to prioritize the economic crisis in Alberta because when things are bad in Alberta, it will inevitably negatively impact the rest of the country. So far, they have announced a five-week extension of EI and are planning new infrastructure that won’t happen until 2018.” Stubbs said when asked about Alberta’s job crisis. You can make a difference in opposing the proposed Federal Carbon Tax. People can get and sign and share the e-petition 585 on Shannon Stubbs’s website which is ShannonStubbsmp.ca as there is a section there on petitions and the people can sign this one for the carbon tax. “There are a number of petitions going around against the carbon tax but what’s different about this one is it is a formal and official petition to the House of Commons and it will be tabled and will require the government to respond. People can sign it until January 20, 2017, and then I can table it.” Stubbs concluded as an essential statement to help for anyone who opposes the new Federal Carbon Tax to make a difference.
