Madam Speaker, one thing is for sure. In all the time that I have been in office in the region that I represent, I have never had one citizen knock on my door, call me or send me an email to say that, whatever I do, I should raise people's taxes so they can feel better about the environment. I have never had one constituent say that, if we double, triple or quadruple the carbon tax, that person would feel so much better.
However, I have had numerous constituents reach out to my office, some in tears, saying they went into the grocery this week and they do not know how they can afford to keep going with prices soaring the way they are. They would love for me to go home this weekend and say we just axed the carbon tax. They would be so happy to hear that response. I hope the Liberals will help these people.
