OTTAWA — A call for the prime minister to meet with Canada’s premiers on the carbon tax got support from the House of Commons Wednesday, as the NDP joined with the Conservatives to encourage the meeting.

A Conservative motion calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to meet with the premiers for a televised conference on the carbon tax passed with NDP and Bloc support Wednesday. The Liberals remained opposed. The motion, while non-binding, demanded Trudeau hold the meeting within five weeks.
