Thank you.

Thank you for being here and for the important work you're doing.

Last time you were here, we talked about the carbon tax. You stated that eight in 10 Canadian families will come out ahead on the carbon tax.

The Governor of the Bank of Canada cited that the carbon tax would have an inflation impact of about 0.15%. That's 15¢ on $100 spent. Would that equate to the same on a $100 bag of groceries? Would it be 15¢?
