Thanks.
Of all of the countries you speak about in terms of trade relationships, in the G7 we are the only one that has raised fuel taxes since this period of inflation started.
The Governor of the Bank of Canada told this committee what, frankly, I think the minister couldn't: that carbon tax drives inflation.
I want to know—just a yes or no—if you think it's fair to triple the carbon tax at a time of record inflation. Families are struggling. They are struggling for groceries and gas to heat their homes. There are 51% of Canadians who have reported using a food bank. Students are sleeping in shelters in this country. Is tripling the carbon tax fair to them right now?
