Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my hon. colleague on being elected and on her comments today.
One of the reasons that Canadians gave the Conservative government a strong mandate in the election on May 2 was the fact that we are keeping taxes low. This morning one of my colleagues from across the way talked about a carbon tax, which is very disheartening. It is something that Canadians do not believe is effective and will penalize Canadians.
Why does my colleague want to increase taxes on Canadians?
