You can tax a product and then give the money to someone in the form of a tax credit or subsidy. Or you can constrict the supply of a product through legislation and thus drive the price up of said product and the manufacturer of that product reaps a financial benefit. It’s two ways of describing the same thing. One is a tax and the other is supply management but they are in effect the same thing.
So the….ahem….Scheer hypocrisy of Andrew Scheer to fight the Liberal carbon tax but support the dairy cartel is simply that. Hypocrisy.
