Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely disappointing to be sitting here and have the government decide, once again, to use the blunt force object that is time allocation rather than allowing a fulsome debate on the bill. This is an implementation bill on a budget for which we have had countless constituent emails come to my office from people with very serious concerns. However, here the government is ramming this through again. It is very clear that it is afraid to hear what Canadians have to say on this. Is the government concerned about the further inflationary spending that is being brought forward through the budget and what the impacts will be on Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years it is clear that everyone but the out-of-touch, elite NDP-Liberals knows the carbon tax is not worth the cost. Page 4 of last year's parliamentary budget office report says, “Taking into consideration...fiscal and economic impacts...most households will see a net loss”. The NDP-Liberals' inflationary tax-and-spend agenda makes everything more expensive and hurts vulnerable Canadians. The most common-sense Conservatives will axe the tax for all, for good. However, since fuel prices have surged over 50% under him, will the PM at least axe the tax on Canadian summer road trips?
