I also

Public Accounts committee  Thanks, Mr. Chair. Mr. Forbes, I have a question for you regarding the carbon tax carve-out in the Atlantic provinces. There is going to be a fair amount of reduction in the carbon tax taken in because of the home heating exemption. Is that going to lead to a correlating

In fact, we saw that just this past week in how the Liberals intentionally included in a free trade agreement with Ukraine a carbon tax mechanism. It's shameful that they would be so intent on division that they do this even with a country

Finance committee   I talk about the carbon tax, and specifically the way the then leader of the Liberal Party—the third party at the time—talked about the carbon tax, is that he promised it would be a collaborative process. Yet, we saw that, the moment he was elected, it was nothing more than talk

Finance committee   the divisions being brought to our country by a government that is so bent on ensuring that it push forward on policies like the carbon tax that have a direct impact on the livelihoods of Canadians....

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. The government is quadrupling the carbon tax on farmers. The Senate is stalling Bill C-234, which could give $1 billion of relief to farmers to help bring

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Mr. Speaker, I want to give the minister a chance to highlight the importance of passing this bill again. The reason I ask is that, a couple of weeks ago at church, a senior slid over behind me, tapped me on the shoulder and thanked me for the way that I voted on the carbon tax

Committees of the House  . It will remain in effect, regardless of how we voted on this particular trade agreement. We know that the NDP and the Liberals are ideologically obsessed with the carbon tax. They want to export that misery all across the globe. It was not enough to make Canadians miserable; they want

Committees of the House   are trying to export the misery of the carbon tax. I know trade agreements are about imports and exports, but what we should not export is the misery of a carbon tax on Ukrainians in the middle of a war.
