Mr. Speaker, it is tax time in Canada and millions of Canadians are filing their tax returns. Last year, many Canadians received their carbon tax rebate in full, but this year they have to wait three more months just to get a quarter of what they received last year. With inflation at generational highs, the Liberals' move to quarterly payments means less money for Canadian families. Canadians want their money now. Why is the government nickel-and-diming Canadians on their carbon tax rebates?

Mr. Speaker, while the members on the other side have been fixated on April 1, I have been fixated on July 15. Of course, that is the date when Canadians will receive the climate action rebate cheques. It will be a double payment, and they will receive these quarterly cheques for months to come. We are fighting climate change and we are promoting affordability.

Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the hon. member is getting his numbers from, but under our plan, the majority of families will continue to receive more money back in a rebate than they pay. Members have heard these numbers before from our associate finance minister. This year it is $600 in Ontario, $700 in Manitoba and $1,100 in Saskatchewan and Alberta. This is more money in the pockets of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, while we have to wait just over a week to learn the full contents of the budget, I am very happy to share today some facts that speak directly to affordability. First, a single mom with two kids will receive $13,600 from the Canada child benefit. Second, the average family in Saskatchewan will get almost $1,000 in a carbon price rebate. Third, seniors received $500 this summer and we are increasing OAS by 10%. Fourth, a student will save more than $3,000. Those are the facts.
