The Budget   slammed a carbon tax scam onto Canadians, making the cost of everything even more expensive. Just recently this month, when 70% of Canadians were telling him to spike the hike and to not go ahead with a carbon tax increase, he still increased the carbon tax by 23%. Just now

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Giroux, I have a few questions for you. You talked earlier about the effect of the carbon tax on the inflation rate. You said it might go down if the carbon tax were eliminated or it just might not go up as quickly. I think I've paraphrased you

Finance committee  If we were to axe the consumer carbon tax today, do you think this would have a positive impact on Canadians' everyday life or the productivity that we see here in Canada?

Finance committee  Thanks, Chair. Mr. Giroux, thank you for being here. Before the 23% carbon tax increase on April 1, you were quoted as saying that when you factor in the fiscal and economic impacts of the carbon tax, most households are at net loss or worse off. Since this is the first time

Finance committee  To an average Canadian family that's going to get groceries, they see high grocery prices...or filling up their gas. In regard to productivity, would you agree that the carbon tax is one of those impacts on any Canadian's everyday life when we say Canadians are getting poorer?

The Budget  , ironically, of the NDP. This NDP member has betrayed his constituents to support the Prime Minister doubling the housing costs, quadrupling the carbon tax and forcing two million Canadians to a food bank. He should go back and talk to that single mother and all single mothers

The Budget   like and how will we get there? Fortunately, we have a common-sense plan that will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. Let us start with the carbon tax that went up 23% on April 1. Now we see the raging gas prices at the pumps across Ontario

The Budget   this Prime Minister. Yes, the wealthy, like him, have private planes. He uses his private plane more than anyone else, while he is forcing single parent mothers who dare to drive their Toyota Corolla to pay a carbon tax. He is spending taxpayers' money to take illegal vacations on private

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day, just because someone cannot see the cost of the carbon tax on their grocery bill does not mean it is not driving up that cost. We know that it is driving up that cost. Anyone who has gone to the grocery store knows that the prices of groceries

Carbon Pricing  , their head coach, Dustin DeWulf. A big congratulations to them on a great year and a job well done. Back in December, I had the opportunity to ask the government about the carbon tax. This is a topic that is not going away anytime soon. When I talk to people back home, particularly

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.

Carbon Pricing  . That bill was a private member's bill to remove the carbon tax from farmers so that the thousands of dollars in unrebated carbon taxes that every farmer pays will no longer have to be built into the price of food. During a crisis of food affordability and food inflation

The Budget   it. It is the Prime Minister, who attacks his immigration minister for letting the system get completely out of control and then attacks himself for doubling housing costs, making life so unfair. If they are so busy attacking themselves and their own record, why do they not just call a carbon tax

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is not the opposition from the Conservatives that he needs to worry about. It is the Liberal Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. He said, “On the carbon tax in particular, the prime minister has tried to bait me at times with certain ad hominems and name

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer confirmed, in fact, that six out of 10 Canadians pay more in carbon tax than they get back in rebates. One hundred per cent of middle-class or middle-quintile Canadians pay more in tax than they get back, with it being especially bad
