Mr. Speaker, the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste recently honoured the memory of Mike Bossy, one of the greatest hockey players in the history of Quebec, who sadly passed away too soon last year. It would be hard to find a candidate more deserving than Mike Bossy of the Maurice Richard award, which is bestowed upon Quebec's greatest athletes. What he accomplished will unlikely be seen again. He was the first player since the Rocket to score 50 goals in 50 games, and the first rookie to score at least 50 goals in a year. His record nine consecutive seasons of scoring 50 goals or more stands unbroken. With four Stanley Cups and countless trophies to his credit, the New York Islanders right winger earned his place in the Hall of Fame. The son of Ukrainian immigrants, Mike Bossy won a place in the hearts of all Quebeckers, both on the ice and over his long media career in French. In more ways than one, this star goal scorer has had a profound effect on Quebec. Hats off, Mike Bossy.

Mr. Speaker, after eight long years in power, this Prime Minister is not worth the cost, especially not in Quebec, where the inflation rate is at 4.8%. That is a lot higher than elsewhere in Canada. After eight years of inflationary deficits, the solution that the Bloc Québécois and the Liberals are now proposing is to drastically increase costs with a tax on gas and diesel, which drives up the cost of all products that are transported. Will the government finally reverse its inflationary policies so that Quebeckers can buy gas and groceries and put a roof over their heads?

Mr. Speaker, Canada will be a global driver of oil production in 2024, on the strength of Trans Mountain. Thanks to Trans Mountain, Canada will shatter oil production records and, therefore, pollution records. However, taxpayers are footing the bill for Trans Mountain. It is costing us $30.9 billion, or roughly $800 per person, babies included. The Liberals are charging each of us $800 to pollute more, not including the cost of subsidies or natural disasters. How dare the Liberals ask Quebeckers to pay more to pollute more?

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of inflationary spending, the Prime Minister has literally killed young Quebeckers' dreams of becoming homeowners. Imagine. A young person in Montreal has to earn $116,000 a year if they want to buy a house, and that is not counting the down payment of 20%. How many years will it take a young person to earn that kind of salary and save enough money? After eight years, do the Liberals realize that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost and that middle-class young people can no longer afford a Prime Minister who is mortgaging their future?

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of bad policy, this government continues to fuel inflation with uncontrolled spending. Today, we learned that Quebec has won Canada's inflation game for the fourth month in a row. Groceries, housing, gasoline, everything costs more, courtesy of the Liberals, backed by the Bloc Québécois. Experts are not expecting things to return to normal anytime soon. Can this government finally offer Quebeckers concrete solutions, put an end to out-of-control spending and abolish the carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, eight years of Liberal inflationary policies have driven Quebeckers further into debt. Young people fear they will never be able to buy a house. Some are even experiencing financial anxiety. Despite that, the Liberals and the Bloc Québécois are adding a second carbon tax. We can never say it enough: It is costly to vote for the Bloc Québécois. My question is simple. Will the Prime Minister scrap his inflationary carbon tax?
