Mr. Speaker, the government is certainly taking action to address affordability by, for example, doubling the GST tax credit. With regard to the price on pollution, the hon. member knows where the federal system is in place, and I would tell her that it is not in place in British Columbia. Rebates are issued quarterly, and most Canadian families get a direct rebate and will continue to get a direct rebate that is more than what they pay. Let us be very clear. If we want to ensure affordability on an ongoing basis with respect to climate change, we need to ensure that we have a robust climate plan to ensure that we are dealing with the cost of the future. That is something that, for over six months, the Leader of the Opposition has refused to talk about. Where is his climate plan?

Mr. Speaker, here is what the Conservatives want to do: slash pensions, slash EI and ignore climate change. We have a better plan. I think in their heart of hearts the Conservatives recognize that, which is why they have done a flip-flop on the GST tax credit, so let me invite them today to concede defeat and support the rest of our plan to help Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, let us be clear on the record. When we brought forward the Canada child benefit, who voted against it? The Conservatives did. When we brought in the tax decrease on middle-income Canadians, who voted against it? The Conservatives did. When we are bringing forward dental benefits, the GST rebate and housing benefits, who is planning on voting against them? The Conservatives are. Let us be clear on who is supporting Canadians and who is voting against them.
