Madam Chair, I noticed again that the Minister of Finance did not stand to answer my question.
At the finance committee, there was a Liberal MP who, when speaking about the contents of how the carbon tax would work, said that this was a partnership with the provinces. Well, that cannot be true, because on January 1, 2019, any province that chooses not to impose a carbon tax on its residents will be forced to do so by the federal government.
Is this the type of partnership that the Minister of Finance envisions for all other future projects?
