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.

Madam Chair, the answer is that every Quebec family will have to pay more than $400 for this second carbon tax that the government and the Bloc want to charge Quebeckers. How much will it cost every farm in Quebec and every farmer in Quebec?

Madam Chair, we agree, which is why we do not think that Quebeckers should be saddled with a new environmental tax. Let us talk about the environment. Can the minister tell me what was Canada's ranking in the climate performance index out of 63 countries?
