The Conservative Party of Canada is now up to six contenders who are officially in the running for Erin O'Toole's former job.

Conservative leadership candidate Jean Charest is promising to repeal the Liberal government's consumer carbon price and eliminate the federal portion of the HST on low-carbon purchases.

The federal government is looking to "future proof" the carbon price against political decisions to cancel or lower it down the road.

Conservative leadership contender and rookie MP Leslyn Lewis on Monday, March 14, 2022, called a Quebec law restricting public servants in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols at work "explicit religious discrimination."

Jean Charest, former premier of Quebec and one-time leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, will reportedly contest the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada — and he’s almost certainly going to get crushed, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Ken Boessenkool, executive director of the recently launched Conservatives for Clean Growth, said Friday it doesn't view a consumer carbon price as the make-or-break feature of a good plan to tackle climate change.

The Conservative Party of Canada will wait until Sept. 10 to pick a new leader, providing more time for prospective candidates to mount their campaigns, including former Quebec premier Jean Charest.

After briefly trying to appeal to climate-concerned voters, the Conservative Party of Canada is ditching its carbon pricing plan, a move Canada’s environment minister says “proves they have no credibility in the fight against climate change.”

Batters was ejected in November after spearheading a petition for party members to sign in hopes that it would force an early leadership review of O'Toole.
