BC Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau is joining the leaders of Canada's other provincial Green parties in calling for a ``windfall profits tax'' on oil and gas companies.
Furstenau says the proceeds of the one-time tax would be shared among Canadians helping them handle affordability challenges while she says oil companies are making windfall profits.
The request for the tax echoes a Green proposal made in an open letter to the prime minister last month.
The call is being repeated because Canada's premiers and prime minister meet Monday in Victoria and the Green leaders want affordability and the climate crisis to be high on the agenda.
