Thank you, Mr. McTeague. Let's move on. I hear what you're saying there.
I agree. The whole issue of the carbon tax, when we applied it to a $60 barrel of oil, was more or less the equivalent of pushing it up to a $95 barrel of oil, thus trying to equate the transition to other forms of energy in making those economic. However, now we have a $90-plus barrel of oil. We're obviously going to be paying more for oil and the products that come from oil. In addition to the carbon tax, we have an escalating tax on top of just our energy tax.
I'm glad you talked about the impact on the price of food, because that is fundamental here. For failing in our food production and our food provision to Canadians, we are failing very much as a nation. This tax, particularly the clean fuel standard tax, which is in addition to the carbon tax, will provide more of an inflationary effect upon the production of food. Can you comment on that, somewhat?
