This week, John Ivison is joined by veteran economist and strategist Ken Boessenkool, who was a senior adviser to Stephen Harper and a former chief of staff to B.C. premier Christy Clark.

Boessenkool is part of a group called Conservatives for Clean Growth, who are pushing the idea that climate policy matters and that any credible election platform needs a carbon plan. Ivison asked whether a Pierre Poilievre government would keep the industrial emitters carbon tax that covers the majority of Canada’s emissions, even if it kills the consumer tax.
