Mr. Speaker, the Liberals love to try to distract their way out of this, but this is not Monopoly. There are no more “get out of jail free” cards for the environment minister. The price of food is at record levels, and the NDP government just does not care.
Just this week, Sylvain Charlebois, Canada's leading food expert, called on the Liberals to suspend the carbon tax on the entire food industry. Instead, the cover-up coalition plans to increase the carbon tax by 23% on April 1.
Bill C-234 would provide relief for farmers and Canadian consumers, yet the radical environment minister told senators to gut it.
My question is simple: Which senators did he call and how did they vote on Bill C-234?
