Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I was hoping that we could have a discussion about the looming carbon tax hike that the Prime Minister is planning for April 1.
You did a comprehensive study of the carbon tax, and you not only looked at the direct cost but also at the total cost.
On page 3 of the report, it says “Household net cost of the federal fuel charge—fiscal and economic impacts”.
I'm sure there are lots of Canadians who are following this very closely because they know how high prices are and they're afraid of how high they're going to jump on April 1. Can you explain what “fiscal and economic impacts” means?
