That said, let's park the fact that there are different points of view about the carbon tax around this table. My colleague has put forward a motion that would allow us to adopt amendments related

International Trade committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to correct a couple of things that I just heard Mr. Genuis mention. The first is when he said that the Liberal Party, or the government, tried to slip a carbon tax into this agreement. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no carbon

It's one time. It's not annually

I do not think that the oil and gas industry actually needs to spend all of that money on lobbying the federal government, because it already has a political party that does it for free. The Conservative Party's members stand in this place and, at every

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  . Federal government spending. Up. The ever-increasing carbon tax. Up. It is true.

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talks the big talk. He wants to help Canadians with affordability, yet the bill would not do that.

When we talk about exports, it is quite interesting that the government has decided to export a carbon tax into a trade agreement for the first time ever. In all
