I have a quick question before we go to a vote.
Is the government planning on introducing new carbon taxes? I just wonder why we need this motion if the government is not.

It's asking to reject any plans, so I'm just wondering, does the federal government have plans?

Mr. Chair, I'm opposed to all taxes. I've never met one I've liked yet.
I'm more than prepared, so let's go to a vote on this.

I have quite a bit to say here. I don't think we need to go to a vote immediately. So I'm going to have my say, and I don't know if the meeting is going to continue or not, but that would be up to the chairman.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
We're not going to get to a vote if there is a discussion, because we do have to end the meeting. I have an appointment right now.

I'm willing to adjourn and come back to this later.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
I think we're going to have to do that, seeing that this debate looks like it would continue.
Thank you, everybody. In the eventuality that the House does break before Thursday, have a good summer. In either case, we look forward to seeing you at an informal meeting in Mr. Anderson's office. I'm sure he'll send a notice out for that.
Go ahead, Mr. Anderson.

I want people to know that it's open to the staff who work here but also to the staff who have been coming out to our meetings. So if the MPs want to bring their staff members who have been coming to the committee meetings with them, they're very welcome to come as well.
