Finance committee   tell you that in rural Ontario it's the same thing. The folks in my riding, in part of rural Canada, very much feel like they are alienated and aren't thought about or cared about by this government. You see that even more so in the carve-out from the carbon tax. Yes, I'm glad

Indigenous Services   the provincial government, Premier-Elect Simpson, who is now calling for the elimination of the carbon tax, or at least a carve-out, in the Northwest Territories.

Agriculture committee  I'm wondering if you could comment on how the carbon tax affects the input costs of the suppliers you represent.

Agriculture committee  Earlier, in response to a question from my colleague about the impact of the carbon tax, you said that you hadn't done the calculations. I would nevertheless like you to provide figures to the committee on the potential impact it might have on the prices of all food products

Agriculture committee  Yes. As I mentioned, all taxes that increase costs, whether on carbon, plastic or anything else, will ultimately increase retail prices.
