Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague kind of missed the whole point of the motion being brought forward. It is that Canadians right now are suffering. They are having a hard time putting food on the table and a roof over their head. Just in the last hour or so, the member for Kingston mentioned how difficult it is going to be for his constituents to transition. The member for Kings—Hants said that it does not matter how much it costs; the people in his riding will not be able to afford to transition, and the member for Whitby, my neighbour, said, the policies to go to net zero are going to be painful. I am just wondering whether the member could be transparent and let Canadians know what other policies are in the pipe and what Liberal members of Parliament know that Canadians do not know that will cause more pain and make it more difficult to meet standards? What options are Canadians going to have if they just cannot afford to pay the unusually large taxes?
