Thank you.
I would like to pick up on a piece of testimony that came out there, which was that the carbon tax had a limited effect of 1% to 2%.
In 2024, the Canadian Climate Institute released a report saying that the consumer carbon tax was 8% to 9%. I listened to Liberal politicians use that stat as a defence of why they couldn't possibly get rid of the consumer carbon tax. Now that the political winds have changed, why is it that the department is using such drastically different numbers with regard to the importance of the consumer carbon tax in terms of emissions reductions?
