Excuse me, Minister. You just told me that I was asking the wrong question. For people who are struggling to pay their bills, for people living in Vancouver who are paying $1.60 a litre for gas right now, it is exactly the right question.
I have literally never seen a finance minister come before a committee and ask for the power to impose a tax without indicating what that tax would cost. So, will this tax cost more than $2,000 for the average Canadian household?
