Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in Vancouver, B.C., on Thursday that Conservative premiers would rather “complain, attack and mislead Canadians for narrow political gain” because of an “ideological objection” to fighting climate change and “an unwillingness to recognize” that carbon price rebate checks would put more money in people's pockets.

"That's why I called them out. And I'm going to continue to call them out and remind them that if they really don't like our approach to pricing pollution, they can create their own approach," Trudeau said. “They are not telling the truth.”

Earlier, a House of Commons committee hearing on carbon pricing was held in Ottawa, which was sparked by the premiers of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Alberta publishing urgent letters requesting to appear before the Liberal-led House Finance Committee to air their concerns about the looming hike.
