Thank you.
You know, I was listening to our NDP and Liberal colleagues talk about being inconvenienced by being brought before this committee to explain how $150 million of lost money through pure government incompetence is not, somehow, a priority for my constituents. They're telling me this is important. They're drowning under a cost-of-living tsunami and a mortgage meltdown coming their way at the speed of a freight train, and this government, this coalition, is not interested in revealing the transparent facts around their incompetence of over $150 million.
The carbon tax has been making life absolutely intolerable. I'm in Calgary. You have all seen the weather we have to deal with here, so don't tell me and lecture me about why this is not a priority for my constituents.
I wanted to respond very clearly to some of the pablum I was hearing from some of our colleagues around the table.
I think it's important to proceed to a vote. I defer my time to Dr. Ellis.
