Thank you for that, Mr. Smith.
We see the impact of the ever-increasing carbon tax in our economy and on consumers. The carbon tax is increasing inflation now by a third, by 0.8%, driving up the costs of nearly everything. The PBO recently said that the vast majority of Canadians will pay far more when you take into account both the economic and fiscal restraints.
I'm going to go to you, Vivek. What impact does the increasing cost of energy have on the Canadian economy or on any economy for that matter?
