Government Business No. 31—Proceedings on Bill C-50   is what this is really all about. About 60 per cent of Canadians “don’t want to pay any additional taxes to support the transition and just 14 per cent were willing to pay one or two per cent more.” That is bad news for those who are pro quadrupling the carbon tax in the NDP-Liberal

Housing   Economic Development said the quiet part out loud when she said other parts of the country should elect more Liberals if they want a carbon tax deferral, like Atlantic Canadians had received. Toronto has 24 Liberal MPs and they have been unwilling or unable to stand up for the city

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, for a carbon tax to reduce consumer reliance or get consumers to switch from a high-carbon consumer product or practice such as, let us say, filling up a gas-powered car, there has to be affordable substitute goods for them to purchase. If the member opposite

A couple of weeks ago, ahead of a fairly significant vote in the House on removing the carbon tax on home heating for all Canadians, I wrote a piece entitled “Canada's carbon tax isn't working. It's time for it to go

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'm just about there. Benedict said his group has been talking to the government about changes to the carbon tax regime for some time, but negotiations were going nowhere with officials offering nothing. He said his group doesn't want to be taking the issue to court

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, everybody. Thank you to the witnesses for being here. A National Post article came out today, which we heard about in the House. It said, “Ontario Indigenous group seeks judicial review of carbon tax”, and it went on to say: An Ontario Indigenous group has

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, Minister. I'm going to go back to communication for a second. Reconciliation comes with good communication. Today we saw the example of how there has been a lack of consultation on the carbon tax, which is the subject of the judicial review that the Chiefs

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, it is simply to say that the point the Leader of the Opposition was making was exactly in support of first nations, who have pointed out, in summary, that the carbon tax has a disproportionate effect on first nations. It is shameful that other parties in this place

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the costly Bloc-Liberal coalition proved once again that it is not worth the cost. As usual, the Bloc members joined forces with the Liberals to defeat our motion calling on the Senate to pass our common-sense bill, Bill C‑234, to remove the carbon tax

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, everyone is struggling. Farmers across Canada buy their goods retail and sell what they produce wholesale. Farmers are now paying $150,000 in inflationary carbon tax. They know the Prime Minister is just not worth

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, this morning, the Chiefs of Ontario joined the chorus of Canadians decrying the failure of the Liberal carbon tax. This burden inflicted upon first nations, allegedly the most important relationship for this Prime Minister, has forced 133 chiefs to take

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the fastest way to provide more affordability for Canadians would be to pass Bill C-234. We have the receipts to show just how much the carbon tax costs farmers who grow the food. The natural gas bills for different months from a Saskatchewan farmer show that one
