That's great; you don't want to answer. We'll move on to the next question.
Minister, in response to questions in the House on April 20, 2023, the government claimed that it had the lowest carbon footprint in the G7 and had significantly reduced its emissions since 2019. On November 7, 2024, you added that the Canada carbon rebate, including the carbon tax, contributed to meeting those targets. I remember that I was in the House, and you were there, as well. You were one of the people who kept repeating in the House of Commons that the carbon tax rebate increased the income of 80% of households that received more than they paid in carbon tax in the provinces where the tax applied. Now you're introducing Bill C‑4, which eliminates that system.
As Minister of Environment and Climate Change, how do you feel about announcing a policy that, based on what your government used to say, will impoverish 80% of Canadians? It must be nice.
