Thank you very much.
I'd like to thank the Parliamentary Budget Officer for his ongoing work on behalf of Canadians and parliamentarians. His work confirms everything that our government has been saying about a price on pollution. Everyone but the wealthiest 20% of Canadians will get back more money through the climate action incentive rebate than they pay, but that is just a part of our plan.
We are also making historic investments in public transportation and renewable energy, phasing out coal, investing in clean technology solutions, supporting our inventors and entrepreneurs, and there are many other measures as part of our 50-measure plan that was developed with Canadians.
Unfortunately, you have Premier Ford and Andrew Scheer who are intentionally misleading Canadians. They are spending taxpayer money to fight putting a price on pollution in court—$30 million. Also, there's a taxpayer-funded campaign in Ontario where, if you're an independent, small business owner, you face a fine of $10,000 a day if you don't do the bidding of the Ford government, misleading Ontarians about the costs of climate change and about the climate action incentive rebate.
Unfortunately, Conservatives in Parliament are sending out taxpayer-funded householders that intentionally do not show to their constituents that among the tax measures, the newest one, the one that they can probably benefit the most from is the climate action incentive rebate.
We need to take action on climate change. I don't need to tell Canadians that because they are feeling the impacts right now. We look at the floods. One-in-a-hundred year floods are happening every few years.
