Mr. Speaker, after nine years, northern Canadians are going hungry and it is getting worse because of the carbon tax. In 2018, 57% of Nunavut families lived with food insecurity versus the national average of 12.7%. That number now is a whopping 69% and is among the worst in the developed world. Almost 70% of Nunavummiut are going hungry every single day. The Prime Minister knows the carbon tax is making northerners go hungry. Why does he not just axe the carbon tax?
