They cannot help themselves, and this will only make things worse with inflationary budgets. If the government members do not believe me, they should listen to their fellow Liberals. What are some

Liberal Party of Canada Mr. Speaker, every year, Canadians pay more for less because of this Liberal government's inflationary deficits and bone-crushing taxes. The Liberal carbon tax is devastating pensioners, working families and small businesses. Today in New Brunswick, we pay over 62¢ more per

Science and Research committee The way that the government is legislating the carbon tax is outside of our mandate. We're an apolitical organization, but we encourage any action that can lower carbon in the future and in the present. There's been a lot of evidence that shows that carbon taxes do work. I'm

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, no matter how many times the parliamentary secretary says it, Canadians are not better off under the carbon tax scheme. Canadians are feeling the weight of everyday costs going up, and we have seen that the carbon tax has cascaded through the economy, making life

National Strategy to Reduce Food Waste and Combat Food Insecurity . It turns out that there are consequences to taxing our farmers, truckers and grocers. What are the examples of some of these disastrous policies? A prime example, of course, is the carbon tax. This tax has done little for the environment, but has driven up the cost of food

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, I think our colleague has conflated a couple of things. The carbon tax is not an environmental plan. The carbon tax is a tax plan. We have advocated for, and I am very proud to say this because the riding I represent, Durham, is home to a fantastic

Carbon Pricing support for the Prime Minister's failed carbon tax. Carbon tax Carney could not commit to cutting a penny from the Prime Minister's reckless spending. These random Liberals really have a lot in common. If carbon tax Carney will not and the Prime Minister will not, will someone over

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you to our witnesses. Mr. Bell, you talked earlier about the price that is added from the carbon tax on fuel on an average flight. About $2,000 is now paid for in carbon tax. One thing that I guess we didn't talk about earlier

Jamie SchmaleConservative
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Mr. McConnell and Mr. Goulet, you've been asked about the added cost of fuel due to carbon tax, but certainly other things have caused the cost of food to go up, such as the global supply situation—both in terms of food but also in terms of fuel—because of the war in Ukraine

Marcus PowlowskiLiberal
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee A store is the last frontier before the customer, so all the costs that come down on us are mostly built in. Now, for sure, if there's a carbon tax fee built into the freight, there's not a separate line saying that this is carbon tax. It's not like a GST. For us, we don't see

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, five months ago I asked the Prime Minister to acknowledge that the carbon tax was at the root of food inflation in Canada. The response I received was irrelevant. I will try to address inflation, its causes and the government's complicity in raising prices

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Mr. Speaker, I certainly commend that member for continually getting up on the issue of affordability. In fact, when I was on the finance committee, we had a former premier of Nunavut come and discuss concerns around the carbon tax, specifically how, in Nunavut, the Nunavut

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Mr. Speaker, I do believe the member is an honourable member, but when he stands up in this place and he says that more Canadians are getting back more from the carbon tax than what they are paying, nobody believes it. The Parliamentary Budget Officer says that is not true

Agriculture committee —is that his feed bill for his animals went up $1,000 in one delivery, and that $1,000 was completely as a result of the carbon tax on trucking.

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, after nine years, northern Canadians are going hungry and it is getting worse because of the carbon tax. In 2018, 57% of Nunavut families lived with food insecurity versus the national average of 12.7%. That number now is a whopping 69% and is among the worst
