Madam Speaker, what I am a fierce protector of is the livelihoods, the cost of living and the standard of living of the people I represent and every single vulnerable community and citizen across this country. While I appreciated working with that hon. member on the natural resources committee in my first term, he should probably get into the coalition cabinet and ask them about why they have not done the interties and have set unrealistic targets that are impossible, about which they will answer no single concrete question regarding who is going to pay for them and how we are going to get there. People may not want to take my word for it, which I understand because I am a politician. So that Canadians understand, this is not just about a war on oil and gas, which it absolutely is. How do we know it is about economic restructuring? We know that because the Prime Minister and the natural resources minister have said that. I would note that there are only parliamentary secretaries here, so it seems like this is a real priority. Last week, in the House of Commons the minister talked on this issue and referred to economic restructuring. During COVID, the Prime Minister said it was an opportunity to reset and restructure the economy. That is what this is about.

Madam Speaker, after eight years, the Liberals still do not understand how to help our farmers, who are a fundamental part of our ability to eat. They, along with their Bloc Québécois partners, would rather send families out on the street than cancel the carbon tax. What is worse, they want to see it drastically increased. They are stoking the inflationary fire and want to further increase the cost of living. It is costly to vote for the Bloc Québécois. When will the Bloc-Liberal coalition put an end to its infamous carbon tax and listen to common-sense Conservatives?
