On April 9, 2024, the Conservative Party initiated a motion that calls on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to convene an emergency meeting with all of Canada's 14 first ministers to discuss the carbon tax, with a specific request for the meeting to be televised. This motion, emphasizing transparency and dialogue on the carbon tax's impact, received backing from the NDP and Bloc, showcasing cross-party support. Pierre Poilievre, a prominent Conservative figure, has been particularly vocal, advocating for the televised discussion to address the financial burden the carbon tax has placed on Canadians. The motion was successfully passed by MPs on April 10, 2024, marking a significant moment in Canada's carbon pricing debate. By April 11, 2024, the call for Trudeau to listen to Canadians on the carbon tax's financial implications had intensified, reflecting the growing demand for government accountability and public engagement in environmental policy decisions.
