Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole addressed media before Thursday's Question Period, providing his reaction to news that the Supreme Court of Canada decided that the Trudeau carbon tax was legal.
"Let me be clear: Canada's Conservatives will repeal Mr. Trudeau's carbon tax. We will protect the environment & fight climate change—but we won’t be doing that by making the poorest Canadians pay," said O'Toole

Several other Conservative leaders reacted to the 6-3 split decision on Thursday, including Alberta's Jason Kenney and Saskatchewan's Scott Moe, with the former calling the decision "simply disappointing" and the latter saying the decision was "simply wrong."
“The Supreme Court ignored the Alberta Court of Appeal's warning and discovered a new federal power that erodes provincial jurisdictions,“ says Alberta Premier Jason Kenney of the SCC's ruling that the federal carbon-pricing plan is constitutional.#abpoli | #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/HHu1KwmAln

‘’Just because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has the legal right to impose a carbon tax, I would say that doesn’t mean that he should,’’ says Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on the SCC ruling upholding the constitutionality of the federal carbon-pricing plan.#saskpoli | #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/INMEY9wPjZ
