Mr. Speaker, I am surprised that my colleague opposite is not telling me that Quebec is not affected by the carbon tax, as he tends to do. I would still reply that, yes, Quebec is affected by the carbon tax. The first carbon tax affects us directly when fruit and vegetables are imported from Ontario, for example. Transportation costs and other inputs play a big part in setting prices. The second carbon tax also affects us directly, at a cost of $436 per family, as noted by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Once again, when is the government going to scrap the carbon tax?
