Mr. Speaker, these are our allies and these are our customers, and all of them have better climate change performance than the government has in Canada. What it has done in Canada is raise taxes on people's energy use, energy that they must use. People do need to heat their homes if they live in rural Newfoundland, and they need to use oil to do it because that is all there is. The cost is already up 77% year over year and likely to go up further. Some families will pay as much as $6,000 to heat their homes. Is the government really going to tell them that they have to pay more for the government's failures on the environment?
