From an N.S. Liberal Party release<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n HALIFAX: <\/strong> Liberal Leader Zach Churchill said by sitting on its hands for over a year, the Houston government has allowed a carbon tax to come to Nova Scotia which will see gas prices increase by 14 cents per litre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the eleventh hour, the Houston government cobbled up a document to present to the federal government earlier this month. The pitch was a list of environmental targets with no details of how to achieve them and made no mention of carbon pricing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unsurprisingly, the plan was rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was obvious when they made their announcement that Premier Houston was allowing a carbon tax to come to Nova Scotia when he submitted a faulty proposal to Ottawa,\u201d said Churchill in a release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”72″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe (Premier Houston) knew what was at stake and he chose not to act. Now, Nova Scotians will be left to pay the price.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A disturbing trend of delay tactics has formed under the Houston government. With a carbon tax on the horizon and a power rate hike coming down the pipe, Nova Scotians can\u2019t afford a government that won\u2019t make proactive decisions to help people in the affordability crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Houston government won\u2019t take responsibility for the carbon tax coming to Nova Scotia, but make no mistake, it\u2019s their neglect that got us here,\u201d said Churchill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”31″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”123″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”105″] [adrotate banner=”93″] From an N.S.
