Madam Speaker, I understand that the member for Miramichi—Grand Lake is concerned about the carbon tax going up in his community. It is true the carbon tax went up two cents a litre last year and the rebates went up more for most folks, but what is also true is that the profits of the oil and gas industry went up 18¢ a litre for every single constituent of his as well. I wonder if the member is similarly concerned about the excess profits, the gouging that is happening and what he is proposing to address that, for example, taking those profits and directing them toward adjusting the affordability concerns of folks in Miramichi—Grand Lake.
