Thank you.
Thank you to my colleague for bringing out these important points. We have a lot of work to do here. We've done a lot of studies. We've been doing this water study here for, I don't know, 15 or more meetings. Is that right?
There's a lot of good information, and we have a lot of work to clean up before we head into the fall session, never mind all the other things we're finding out in this committee, such as the $8-billion net-zero accelerator fund, for which over 70% of the projects have given no commitment to reduce emissions, when the fund was supposed to reduce emissions.
We're now finding out that this carbon tax is going to cost Canadians $30 billion a year, or $2,000 per family. It's ridiculous. We need to be talking about this, because this is all because of the carbon tax. This is a government-made problem by our minister that this committee was supposed to report on. The fact that he's not here today spells it out very clearly. Hopefully, he will see wisdom and the error of his ways, and he will get here this summer when we have these committee meetings.
I don't think anybody realizes just how serious this is. There is a massive amount of money leaking out of this government every day—
