This came right from ECCC. Imagine you're a small pizzeria and bagel shop owner. They're probably thinking that they're thankful that they got through COVID and things are improving. Then they get an email from the Liberal government wanting to know how many emissions are coming out of their wood-fired oven.
We just learned that the Liberal government doesn't measure annual emissions reduced from their carbon tax, but the Liberals expect pizzerias to know how many emissions come from their ovens. It's absolutely ridiculous. Small businesses can't afford this government's high-priced consultant.
This is such an embarrassing issue for the government that I expect they will try to shut down debate on this motion. They love shutting down debate on issues they don't want to talk about.
If the government is truly opposed to a wood-fired oven ban, then they would have no problem supporting this motion.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
