Well, I'm not an expert on the carbon tax per se, but there's no question that every input tax increase is having an impact. That's true with taxation. Obviously it's true in regulatory compliance.
Frankly, in the way that items are assessed for gender impact and for environmental impact, I think it is probably time for the government to return to putting things through an affordability prism and through a consumer prism—as it hasn't really since 1995—before policies are brought forward.
That's not to say that the Competition Bureau doesn't do great work or that there isn't an office of consumer affairs, but we have not had a minister with the name “Consumer and Corporate Affairs” in almost 30 years. That does speak, to some degree, to the fact that inflation has been in abeyance. It is probably time to bring those impacts back to the fore.
