Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer has confirmed that eight out of 10 Canadians in jurisdictions that have the federal carbon price get more money back from the Canada carbon rebate than they pay with this price on pollution. That is fact. The Conservative leader has been using erroneous figures, which the Parliamentary Budget Officer has said he made a mistake on, to continue to attack our plan on fighting climate change and putting more money back in people's pockets. Eight out of 10 Canadians are better off.

Mr. Speaker, once again, the Conservatives are basing their attacks on climate action and affordability on erroneous calculations that the Parliamentary Budget Officer has admitted that he made. The fact that the Parliamentary Budget Officer also calculated, without making any mistakes, that eight out of 10 Canadians are better off with the Canada carbon rebate and the price on pollution means that we are not only fighting climate change and bringing down emissions, but also putting more money back in the pockets of Canadians who need support right now, money that the Conservative Party wants to take away.

Mr. Speaker, I do not know how much clearer I can be, but I will try. Based on everything the government knows, all the studies we have made and all the studies the Parliamentary Budget Officer has made, we can affirm very clearly, and it is backed up by independent economists, that eight out of 10 families in jurisdictions across the country where the federal price on pollution applies do better off with more money in their pockets than the price on pollution costs them with the Canada carbon rebate. Liberals are fighting to put more money in the pockets of Canadians, and the Conservatives are wrong on this.
