Today, the common-sense Conservatives have three ideas that we need to do

The Budget   on classifying them as Toronto, making them pay more in carbon taxes than other Canadians. After ignoring this problem for years, budget 2024 finally says that the government will look to better define rural areas, but it only commits to put forward a proposal to do so later in the year. Let

The Budget   collects from taxpayers in GST, what impact that is having on increasing or supporting economic growth in this country. Even further, I am wondering what impact the carbon tax is having. I am not talking about the rebates, but we know from the Parliamentary Budget Officer's costing

Carbon Pricing  , mushroom growers, fruit and vegetable growers, provincial premiers and agriculture ministers. They are unanimous. To ensure the sustainability of food production in Canada, they need the NDP-Liberal carbon tax coalition to reverse its 23% hike of the carbon tax and pass Bill C-234

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, they are out on bail less than 24 hours later. Liberal incompetence touches so much more than the criminal justice system. People may need a nugget of gold to buy gas in Ontario today. After nine years of the Prime Minister, his carbon tax prices have hiked

He was also asked, I recall, at our committee—I believe by my Conservative colleagues—what the implications are of the overall carbon tax on inflation. At the time, if I recall correctly, he said

Finance committee  I wouldn't want to contradict the Governor of the Bank of Canada on something as fundamental to his mandate as inflation. On the other hand, I don't want to suggest what the governor could or should have done had there not been a carbon tax. It's clear that economic theory

Finance committee  Given the mandate of my office, we are often asked to cost the cost of proposals rather than their benefits. It's very difficult to estimate the benefit of a carbon tax, and it's typically not something we do. We don't generally do cost-benefit analysis. That's the reason why we

Finance committee  Yes. When we looked at the direct carbon tax paid by households, the indirect carbon tax paid by households through goods and services they buy, as well as the GST that's levied on that, and we subtracted the carbon rebate, we found that about eight out of 10 households were

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, for once the Prime Minister has achieved unity among Canadians. He has united Canadians in opposition to his failed carbon tax. I cannot recall the last time 70% of Canadians, and eight out of 10 provinces, opposed a federal government policy, but the NDP-Liberal

Distracting from our focus on growth is the controversy surrounding the recent hike to the carbon tax, which provoked its advocates to mount a last-gasp defence. Three hundred

Carbon Pricing   reason for that is that farmers are already exempt from the carbon tax for most of their activities. Bill C‑234 is simply not going to change things for households that are dealing with higher grocery prices, and it is false to suggest that it would. It stands to reason that carbon

Carbon Pricing   clearly stated do not cover the cost of the carbon tax to those households, particularly when we include all the higher costs people incur. It is not just the carbon tax they see on their heating bill and at the pump but also the general inflation of all the goods that it is applied

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, this Liberal-Bloc Prime Minister is not worth the cost of the carbon tax. Quebec farmers are in revolt against the Prime Minister because they are facing mountains of paperwork, a blatant lack of financial support and the carbon tax, which

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it was clear from the PBO that six out of 10 Canadian families are worse off. They are worse off, because of that carbon tax and so-called rebate. It is clear that the Liberals will not lift a finger to provide farmers and Canadians with relief from their cruel
