Mr. Speaker, that is nonsense. Eight out of 10 families get more money back in their pockets than they pay as part of the carbon price because of the rebate, in regions where the price applies. It is very simple. All the proceeds from the price on carbon are redistributed equally to all families. The wealthiest pay more than they get back. Middle-class families get more back than they pay. It is as simple as that. Eight out of 10 families are getting more money back in their pockets, and those are middle-class and low-income families.
