Thank you.
I think people and farmers know that farm fuels are exempt from the carbon tax, so I would just say that we can verify that by looking at the actual bill, if you'd like.
The other thing is that the bill has been reported back to the House. It's not moving forward because every time it comes up, the Conservative Party decides to trade a bill to put in front of it or debates it and has not allowed it to go to a vote. I'm just wondering.... The idea that somehow we're not allowing this to go forward is incorrect. I just want to correct that.
The other thing I'd like to correct is something in one of Mr. Leslie's questions, when he again stated that the carbon levy was increasing the price of everything and causing an affordability crisis. Just for the record, I'd like to state, and make sure that people are aware, that there is a Canada carbon rebate, which is more than people are paying out of their pockets.
Mr. Drover, when you say that people are paying more, an impact to the economy does not make them pay more and it is not divided across all Canadians in a consistent way. In fact, the PBO report you're referring to was a projection out to 2030 that showed that the difference in the GDP would be $2.66 trillion versus $2.68 trillion—less than a 0.5% reduction—and it doesn't in any way take into account the cost of climate events. I think we have to show things in relation and be sure that we have the facts right.
That's where I wanted to start, but I'd like to direct my next question to Mr. Beugin.
This morning, there was a Canadian Press article about the clean electricity regulations and their marginal costs in the context of Ontario's electricity grid.
Can you share what you believe will be the actual pocketbook impacts of expanding and decarbonizing our electricity grid at the same time, and why that is going to be positive?
