The carbon tax will also be re-evaluated to address the major climate problem of volatile emissions, greenhouse gases that flow or are ventilated from the province`s massive gas and transportation projects. These emissions have been poorly measured and underestimated, so it is important for effective measures to combat climate change to make them more completely under a CO2 tax regime. B.C.s the famous carbon tax lay under Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals. The former ruling party froze taxes and created exceptions for some of the province`s biggest polluters. “We`re going to put the agreement before our caucuses and have it ratified and made available to the public at this point,” Horgan said. The B.C Green Party announced today that Cowichan Valley MLA Sonia Furstenau has won the party`s leading race, triggered by MLA Andrew Weaver in October 2019 to sit as an independent MLA. “Over the past few days, we have done everything in our power to reach a government agreement, while remaining committed to our core beliefs. It is essential that Colombians see the concrete details of the agreement announced today by the leaders of the BC NDP and the Green Party, which could have significant consequences for the future of our province,” she wrote. “We supported every draft budget.
We have supported all trust accounts. Nowhere in this agreement is it said that we must support any bill. Then, almost as fast as it started, it broke. The Greens signed a confidence and supply agreement with the NDP, but Mr. Weaver and his Greens were overplayed and maneuvered by Mr. Horgans wilier NDP almost from day one. They never really had what was to happen with the lever they held. When it comes to power in politics, it is surprising that the Greens have given it so freely. NDP Leader John Horgan and Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver made the joint announcement Monday afternoon at the B.C. Legislature, and said they had reached a four-year agreement.
Faced with the increase in COVID-19 cases, she said the government should focus on the health and well-being of British Columbia and the green economic recovery. Last Saturday, the Greens held their seats and largely retained their share of the referendum. It is a sign of optimism that the party`s overall message is reaching British Columbia. Ms. Furstenau has fulfilled herself as a new leader and perhaps victory off West Vancouver Island could be used as a springboard for further success on the continent.
