Mr. Speaker, first, I want to say to my colleague that we need to stop the disinformation. I also want to make a couple of very important reminders. First, the carbon tax does not apply in Quebec. Second, households outside Quebec that pay this carbon tax receive financial compensation that is in no way related to their profession or marital status. It is based on their income. Third, the Conservatives' proposal excludes many households for no good reason. How do they define family? What about single people or the elderly?

Madam Speaker, someone was unaware that I was speaking. The member just referred to families, and I would like to know what is the Conservatives' definition of family. Are we talking about two parents with one child? Will people who have no children pay the carbon tax? I would like to understand that part. I would also like the member to tell me whether it is true that low-income families receive a rebate in the provinces that are subject to the carbon tax. Since Quebec is not subject to the carbon tax, we do not have much information about it.
