Mr. Speaker, while government members drone on about making life more affordable for Canadians, they ignore their self-selective, industry-killing ways of tax and spend. They will claim to offer affordable day care and housing, but a person would have to lose their job and their neighbours to get it. In the meantime, they will buy less at the grocery store and put off the next trip to the gas station.
Could the government show one small act of mercy to its citizens and axe the carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, the government promises the moon and the stars, but it will take the shirts off the backs of Canadians to pay for it. It tempts Canadians with shiny things in the window, but it cannot cash the cheques it writes. The losers are everyday Canadians. They can drop off their kids at day care, but their tummies will be empty, and they better be in walking distance, because Canadians cannot afford gas.
Will the government find it in its heart to show one small act of compassion and axe the carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, the PBO has put to rest the NDP-Liberal government's bogus claim that the carbon tax is revenue-neutral. The St. Albert Legion wrote to me and said that the carbon tax will cost it $6,000 this year. That is $6,000 that could have been spent to support veterans in my community.
When will the NDP-Liberal government just admit that the carbon tax is not revenue-neutral and axe the tax?

Mr. Speaker, we are two days away from April 1. If the government wants to know what is on Canadians' minds on April 1, the fact of the matter is that in two days, the Liberal carbon tax will go up.
For weeks we have been calling on the government to give Canadians a break, to give them some breathing room and not increase the Liberal carbon tax. There are two days left.
Can the government understand the goodwill behind this and, more importantly, could it give Canadians a break by not increasing the Liberal carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, in his greenhouse gas reduction plan, the minister talks about reducing carbon intensity, which refers to the number of tonnes of greenhouse gases emitted in relation to the GDP. This is another attempt to avoid dealing with the climate emergency. We need to reduce actual emissions, and it is not fair for the government to be talking to us about green oil.
Will the government finally acknowledge that green oil is like a square circle, a philosopher's stone or a vegetarian vampire, in that it does not exist?

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We had many discussions in QP today, particularly around the Bank of Canada confirming that the carbon tax is inflationary. I have the letter from the Governor of the Bank of Canada, Tiff Macklem, and would like to table it with unanimous consent. I have it in both official languages, so I think if you seek it, you shall find unanimous consent to hear about the inflationary nature of the tax. I thank the member of Parliament for Northumberland—Peterborough South for asking the question and getting the response.
