COMING SOON: MORNEAU'S CARBON TAX FAIRY TALES

  During a parliamentary committee hearing Thursday, Morneau was repeatedly pressed by Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre to disclose how much the carbon tax would cost Canadian families.
   In response, Morneau said the plan will be revenue neutral overall and that there will be no net increase in taxes.
   However, he added that details on how much people will pay will only be determined in September after each province reveals their individual approaches to applying the policy.
  Poilievre then suggested Morneau was asking MPs to pass budget legislation that would allow the government to impose the carbon tax before explaining how much it would cost their constituents.
