Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for bringing this important issue to our committee.
I want to start with Mr. Catenaccio.
You mentioned a couple of things in your introduction, such as the carbon tax, car insurance, groceries, and we could probably go on. I want to ask your opinion on something.
As of December 8, 2023, the cost to administer the carbon tax plan cost taxpayers $200 million since its inception in 2019. Last year, it was $82.6 million, and they hired 465 full-time employees.
I'd like to know what you think about that, because that $200 million would have really helped reduce the cost of inflation.
What do you think about those numbers?
