Madam Speaker, that is so ridiculous. First, the data sent to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, at his request, confirms that where the federal price on pollution applies, eight out of 10 families receive more than they pay. Second, it seems like the only thing the Conservatives can calculate is the cost of implementing measures. Of course there are costs, but the Conservatives never talk about the benefits, which are estimated at between $15 billion and $25 billion a year right now. I do not mean only in 2030, but each and every year, and that is not counting the $23 billion less in climate change impacts that Canada will see as a result of our measures.

Madam Speaker, what Canadians are seeing this morning, those who are here and at home, is that Conservatives just do not care. That is the bottom line of all the questions we have heard this morning. Canadians understand that what we did in the last budget was about generational fairness. That is the core issue that Canadians want us to address. That is why we made changes to the capital gain taxes, because we want to invest in the next generation. We want to invest in workers. We want to invest in seniors. We want to invest in our future. However, here we go again, and the Conservatives voted against that fairness.
