I respect the ideas, and your compassion is evident as minister. I understand that you want to make a difference, and you want to reduce poverty in Canada.
The reality, though, is that the carbon tax per family, for heating fuel alone, is problematic. In Nova Scotia, there's an estimate that it will cost $612 per year. Joe and Jane taxpayer are already maxed out and have no money left to pay for any extras. That's another $600 on top, not to mention another $600 on fuel for their vehicles. You're talking about an extra $1,200 per household. I just want know, how are Joe and Jane taxpayer going to pay the bill?
