Nova Scotia’s Liberals want to end the federal carbon tax.
The opposition set to table a bill in the legislature to bring back a cap and trade model on carbon pricing.
Leader Zach Churchill says the federal tax is not the best way forward for the province.
They say it would be similar to models in place in Quebec and B.C, and satisfy the requirements of the federal climate action plan.
Environment and climate change critic and former Premier Iain Rankin says the previous government negotiated a deal that cost people less.
He says the bill is one more plea to the current government.
Premier Tim Houston also wants the carbon tax to be dropped.
But he has said their plan to reduce emissions is the way forward, as they involve meeting clean energy and green hydrogen targets by 2030.
In the spring, he said the last thing Nova Scotians need is another tax.
