They're good Canadians. They play by the rules. They pay their taxes. They follow things.
For the last 10 years, they've been kicked around and have suffered because of the mismanagement by the Liberal government of many different files. We talk about the transportation costs being through the roof. The carbon tax did not help that and now they're shifting it to the industrial carbon tax, which is just a shell game to hide from Canadians how much they're actually paying.
As frustrating as it would be, for the last 10 years the Liberals have been obsessed with reducing emissions and chasing different technologies to capture carbon. The real-world solution to that, and the most simple and most Canadian thing, is to take a Canadian tree with carbon, cut it down and make it into products, like tables, chairs and houses. Instead, we've seen this government go on a billion-dollar spending spree on a whole bunch of wild ideas that would actually do what trees can do and what our industry can do.
How do your members feel about the last 10 years of all these wild policy changes that the Liberals have brought in?
