Mr. Speaker, the member's comedy routine will not make up for the fact that Canadians cannot afford to feed themselves. The Prime Minister is in a bind again. He was already bullied by his Atlantic caucus into panicking and bringing in a temporary pause on home heating taxes, but only for some. Now his environment minister is threatening to resign if there are any more carbon tax carve-outs. Will the Prime Minister stop allowing himself to be bullied and threatened by his radical environment minister and axe the tax on our farmers so that Canadians can afford to eat?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal's program is hunger and homelessness for Canadians. Fortunately, we have a common-sense Conservative solution, which would take the carbon tax off of our farmers. That is the tax the Liberals want to quadruple. However, the Prime Minister is in a panic because his environment minister said, “As long as I’m the environment minister, there will be no more exemptions to carbon pricing”. In other words, if this bill passes, his Minister of Environment will resign. Why will the Prime Minister not simply accept the minister's resignation now and let the bill pass so Canadians could feed themselves?
