Thank you, Chair.
I just wanted to make that clarification. If Ms. Dzerowicz thinks the carbon tax doesn't impact the trucker who's shipping the material to build those houses, and consequently the farmers who are growing the food, and the trucker who's shipping the food, and the people who are retailing the food, then I think it just goes to show how out of touch and out of reality the Liberal government is. It just proves how out of touch they are about this carbon tax scam. That's what we're concerned about—that Mark Carney is just as out of touch and doesn't understand the pain of Canadians.
The carbon tax has a huge impact on people's lives, whether it's housing or groceries. It's also a factor in why people are going into food banks. It's now two million, in fact, and a million more this year. This fact flies over Liberals' heads, because they're so ideologically obsessed with their woke, extremist view on this carbon tax scam.
In closing, I just want to throw it out there that if the Liberals and the NDP want to pass Bill C-59, we're willing to do it right now. We could get it done with a vote right now. If this coalition agrees to pass our motion right now, as amended by Mr. Lawrence, we can get both things cleared up right now, within the next minute. That's all we ask for. Let's get both things passed right now. We don't have to waste any more time.
Thank you.
