The House of Commons rejected the Conservative Party’s proposed non-confidence motion related to the upcoming carbon hike with a vote of 204 to 116 on March 21.

The attempt to bring down the government, described by the Tories as allowing Canadians to vote in a “carbon tax election,” comes as the Tories have decried the 23 percent hike for the federal carbon tax come April 1.
