Thank you.
I would also like to thank the witnesses for joining us today.
My question is for the representative from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
Gas prices have skyrocketed recently. With 42 billion litres being consumed in Canada, the annual increase for all consumers and businesses is $15 billion.
Could you tell us about the impact of this $15 billion increase that was authorized by the current government? It is not imaginary; it is real and it is current. What is the impact on energy costs for your businesses?
