Mr. Speaker, last May, CTV's Craig Oliver asked the Liberal leader, “Now you were the first leader as a candidate leader to talk about a carbon tax, and you took a little bit of heat for that. Do you still believe in a carbon tax? Of course you do?” The Liberal leader replied, “I do, Craig. I learned that there's no punishment more severe in politics than being the first guy with a good idea”.
Is that what the Liberal leader meant when he said last month, “We will have to raise taxes?”
Would the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister please inform the House?
