Thank you.
Thank you, Premier, for coming here. As a member of the finance committee, let me express my extreme disappointment with the chair, who was unwilling to hear the representatives of over a million Canadians in the great province of Saskatchewan.
I want to focus relatively narrowly, with respect to the inflationary impact of the carbon tax. Tiff Macklem made it quite clear to the finance committee that, actually, 0.6% of inflation—which equates to around 20% to 30% of inflation, given the rate on any given day—is the responsibility of the carbon tax, and that the increase will be responsible for another 0.15%. This means that over 30% of inflation is a direct result of the carbon tax.
We were be unable to validate this until you took the actions that you did, Premier Moe.
Have you seen an impact on the reduction of inflation through Saskatchewan's actions with respect to the non-collection of the carbon tax on home heating?
