Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance. Recently the former and current premiers of Alberta, as well as senior oil patch executives, voiced their concerns about the imposition of a carbon tax.
When questioned by my colleague from Prince George-Peace River, the Minister of Natural Resources said that to get a definitive answer we should ask the Minister of Finance. I ask him to provide the House with a one-word answer. Is the government planning to impose a carbon tax? Yes or no.
