Carbon Tax Petition Launched

The Ontario Progressive Conservative party has launched a petition against a potential carbon tax that could be introduced by the Liberals in the spring budget.

Sarnia-Lambton MPP Bob Bailey says the tax would raise the price of gasoline, goods and services.

Bailey says in the past the Liberals have introduced a health tax and spent $2-billion on smart metres that didn't result in energy conservation.

Those wishing to sign the petition can visit www.bobbaileympp.com or Bob Bailey's Sarnia office on Upper Canada Dr.
