Mr. Speaker, by using technology and not taxes, the Conservative government presided over the only government that reduced greenhouse gases in Canadian history, while the economy grew.
Now we have a government that has missed every single greenhouse gas reduction target it has set, even as its carbon tax has gone up, and now it wants to hit people with a tax, just as home heating bills are expected to double.
Its consolation prize is that some time down the road, one might be able to get a heat pump when the winter is over, if one is lucky.
Why does the government not get rid of the real problem, which is the tax?
