By Craig Needles

April 2, 2024 - 6:38pm

London North Centre Liberal MP Peter Fragiskatos chats with Craig in the studio about the increase in carbon pricing on April 1st.

Was this the right time to increase a tax as Canadians are dealing with an affordability crisis?

They also discuss the federal government's $1-billion announcement on funding school lunches and whether that should be provincial jurisdiction.
