Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the Liberal-NDP Prime Minister is not worth the crime, the corruption or the cost. Common-sense Conservatives will axe the tax because the NDP-Liberal carbon tax coalition has failed. It has not hit a single emissions target. Do members know who has succeeded? Farmers. According to the Global Institute for Food Security, the carbon footprint for wheat grown in Saskatchewan is 67% lower than the rest of the world. Why is the Prime Minister punishing Canadian farmers for this incredible accomplishment? Instead of blaming farmers for his carbon tax failures, will he not axe his plan to increase the tax on April 1?

Mr. Speaker, we would say that they are acting hypocritically. The Conservative Party says it has principles, and if we do not like them, it has other principles. In the 2021 Conservative platform, on which every one of those members of Parliament was elected, the platform said: We recognize that the most efficient way to reduce our emissions is to use pricing mechanisms. The Conservatives' position is not only devoid of facts, but their position is the height of hypocrisy. How can Canadians believe anything these folks say?
