Thank you, Madam Chair.
I wish to move a motion for consideration by the committee today.
The motion reads as follows:
Given that the Liberal government's carbon tax has had a detrimental impact on the cultural, civic, and economic life of Canadians, making life increasingly unaffordable and severely limiting their ability to support and enjoy the arts and culture sector, the committee report to the House its recommendation that the government should immediately cancel the carbon tax.
Madam Chair, I am happy to pause and give a moment for the motion to be distributed, although it has been on notice since January 26, and then I would like to resume—
