Mr. Speaker, Japan announced it is rescinding any increase to its carbon tax, because it is causing inflation. This leaves Canada as the only G7 country that has not repealed its inflationary carbon tax increases. Every major economy is repealing these taxes, because of the effect they are having on food, fuel, home heating and everything else. Canada is the outlier. What does this finance minister thinks she knows that the rest of the world is missing?

Mr. Speaker, carbon taxes are designed to be inflationary. They are meant to add taxes, and to make everything cost more. Inflation is now at 40-year highs. It is destroying the savings of hard-working Canadians and everything they need to take home. While the government is collecting more tax in this scheme, hard-working Canadians have less in their pockets. It is time the minister took a lesson from all of her peers around the world. Why is she going to be the last to figure out that she has to repeal this tax?
