Madam Chair, the government collects GST on carbon taxes. It taxes on a tax. How does the minister justify taxing the taxes that Canadians are paying?

Madam Chair, the member opposite was elected on a platform that said, “We will assess progress...[so] carbon prices [can be] on a path to $170/tonne.” How does the member explain her flip-flop to Canadians?

Madam Chair, I was elected on fighting for provincial jurisdiction and respecting that, so I would ask that the minister not put words in my mouth for what I have done. We are in a housing crisis, and that has been noted by officials, not by this minister or the housing minister, unfortunately. Why is the removal of gatekeepers and red tape not a priority for the current Liberal government?

Madam Chair, it is really astonishing to me that Conservative after Conservative has disavowed the platform that they clearly ran on in 2021. Every Conservative member of the House was elected on that climate plan. How can they disavow it now?
