Mr. Chair, I'd like to move a motion right now.
That, given that, a) The carbon tax increases the cost of food; b) Canadians are already set to spend an additional $700 on groceries this year; c) Increased food costs are driving Canadians to food banks in record numbers; d) There are now 8,000 members of the Dumpster Diving Network of Toronto Facebook group; e) Increasing the carbon tax on April 1, 2024, will only make food prices even more expensive; in order to help Canadians afford groceries and reduce reliance on food banks, the committee call on the Liberal Government to cancel the 23% carbon tax increase on April 1, 2024, and report this recommendation to the House.
I believe this was put on notice on Friday.
