Mr. Speaker, the member spoke about how I and other members might use their office budgets. I think after that speech, we are certainly very interested in an itemized listing of how that member uses his hospitality budgets. We will look forward to that in due course. Maybe we already have some idea.
However, I want to ask the member for his views on the carbon tax. Canadians across the country, and in my riding in particular, want to know how much the carbon tax will cost the average family, how much they will have to pay for it. We have a government that is proceeding in a very secretive way.
The member spoke admiringly of Australians. They used to have a carbon tax and they got rid of it. They tried that, realized it did not work, and they got rid of it. Will he follow the good example of the Australians, about whom he has already spoken? Will he follow the example of previous Canadian governments? Will he oppose the carbon tax, or at the very least tell us how much it costs?
