Thank you very much.

I must admit that I'm a little exhausted, as I would assume you are even more so, Mr. Giroux, with litigating the carbon tax. I'm not here to play games. I'm just going to say it like it is.

If you just take the fiscal impact, it's that eight out of 10 Canadians are better. They can quote me, and they can put that on there. However, the reality, the truth of that, is that once you include the economic impact, six out of 10 Canadians are worse off.

Is that not correct, Mr. Giroux?
