Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I join my colleagues in welcoming you here today, Mr. Giroux and Ms. Vanderwees. I appreciate as well the opportunity to ask multiple questions of you, although five minutes doesn't give us a lot of time.
I want to follow up on some of the questioning of my colleague Mr. Chambers in regard to the carbon tax. We now have carbon tax number one, and then we have carbon tax number two. I want to ask you to confirm some numbers for me going forward in regard to the net cost to a household once these taxes are fully implemented.
It's my understanding that in Saskatchewan, carbon tax number one will cost households $1,723. Carbon tax number two will cost $1,017. That's a total of $2,840. In Alberta, carbon tax number one will cost Alberta households $2,773. Carbon tax number two is another $1,057. Once fully implemented, that will cost Alberta households over $3,900.
Can you confirm those numbers? Can you then confirm whether those two numbers are the highest in the country and whether in fact Alberta is the highest of all?
