Mr. Speaker, with that answer, I suggest that it sounds like the minister is not speaking to Canadians whatsoever.
Gas prices are hitting record levels and Canadians are struggling to fill their tanks. The Prime Minister likes to point the finger elsewhere. The reality is that taxes on fuel are lining his government's pockets on the backs of hard-working Canadians. The latest carbon tax hike could not have come at a worse time and is even more punishing for constituents like mine, who live in rural Canada.
Will the Prime Minister offer Canadians some much-needed relief and finally abandon his failed carbon tax?
