Résumé
New polling shows that two in three Canadians support a tax on oil and gas companies’ excess profits, as oil and gas companies make record profits from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while energy prices for consumers continue to soar to new heights, deepening the existing affordability crisis.
The national poll, conducted by Liaison Strategies, shows that 66 per cent of Canadians support an excess profits tax, with revenues used to help households lower their energy bills. Support is highest in Ontario (69 per cent) and Québec (73 per cent). Only 24 per cent of respondents oppose the proposal.
