Mr. Speaker, a new report from the NDP-run Broadbent Institute endorses the NDP leader's call for a $21 billion carbon tax. Specifically, the report notes that, “a carbon tax and higher taxes on natural resources — need to be considered”.
It is not surprising that the Broadbent Institute is coming to the defence of the NDP leader. After all, this is the same institute that the NDP tried to illegally smuggle funds to last summer.
The NDP can commission all the reports it wants. On this side of the House, we know that Canadians cannot afford the NDP leader's $21 billion carbon tax. Canadians will not stand for it and neither will we.
We also know the member for Churchill supports this $21 billion tax grab on the backs of Canadians, which would raise the price of groceries, gas, electricity and many more consumer goods.
