Madam Chair, that is interesting. Now the minister is finally talking numbers. It turns out that Newfoundland and Labradorians will be paying $2,166 more in carbon taxes and taxes on the tax than they get back in any of these phony rebates.

Madam Chair, what turns out to be phony is the platform every single Conservative MP ran on in 2021. I just read it out. They promised a path to $170 a tonne. They promised clean fuel regulations. Therefore, if the Conservatives can turn around and disavow that, what—

Madam Chair, the minister cannot even answer. The cost of the new tax that the Liberals, the NDP and the Bloc want to impose on Quebeckers, is 17¢ a litre. Again, is she going to charge sales tax on the carbon tax in Quebec?

Madam Chair, Canadians understand the importance of climate action. That is why the Conservatives promised a climate plan during the 2021 election campaign. Today, they are saying they disagree. What are Canadians to believe when it comes to the Conservatives?

Madam Chair, therefore we must assume that the government will apply the sales tax to Quebec's carbon tax. It will add 20¢ to the cost of a litre of gas. That is an additional 20¢ a litre as a result of this new tax. How much will that cost Quebec families?

Madam Chair, the Conservatives should be frank and clear with Canadians. They must admit that not having a climate plan will cost every Canadian and every Quebecker much more. That is why they promised during the election campaign that they would have a plan. Today, they are saying that that was not their plan.
