Scrap the carbon tax, chamber urges


| Sourced From |

The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce is calling on the provincial government to scrap its controversial carbon tax, arguing that the levy will impact Fraser Valley businesses more than most.

In a letter written by Chamber president Alvin Epp to B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, the organization argues that the carbon tax will cost the provinces agriculture industry between $9 million and $13 million in its first year.

Because such a large chunk of B.C.s farm business is based in the Fraser Valley, Epp believes the carbon tax will be a particular headache in Abbotsford.
