Mr. Speaker, let us talk about the provinces that are refusing to help Quebeckers in welcoming asylum seekers: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta. What do these provinces have in common? They have Conservative premiers. Those Conservatives are telling Quebeckers to deal with it themselves, to take care of the asylum seekers for them, while they continue to mock them. To be clear, the resettlement plan is the responsibility of the Minister of Immigration. Would it not be helpful if the Conservative leader told his gang to stop dumping their responsibilities on Quebeckers?

Mr. Speaker, the PBO disputes those very things. The carbon tax is, by design, meant to raise prices, and the consequences are devastating. Red Deer, Alberta, a city of only 100,000 people, has seen food bank usage skyrocket in recent years to 30,000, and this year, it is on track to have 40,000 individuals who need help from the food bank. That is in a city of fewer than 100,000 people. My question is simple. Will the Liberals call a carbon tax election so that Canadians can decide to axe the tax?
