Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Ministers, for being here.
Minister Boissonnault, my questions will be directed towards you.
We know that the carbon tax is driving up the cost of food, home heating and fuel, and that far too many have to decide between heating and eating. Some Atlantic Canadians are getting some temporary relief on the cost of their home heating because their MPs advocated for them. Saskatchewanians and Albertans are left out in the cold.
Given that you are one of two Liberal representatives in Alberta and I've seen you at Saskatchewan events, I imagine that you are the de facto Saskatchewan representative. Are we to understand that you did not advocate for carbon tax relief for families in western Canada?
