Madam Speaker, the Liberals are using one part of their environmental platform that is working well. They are recycling the same failed ideas and talking points they had when they left here in June. In the months of our leader and our caucus travelling around the country, including into communities where we currently do not hold seats but where Canadians are desperate for a voice, we are hearing the need for change.
When we talk about affordability, I hear the message that it will change a little bit. They still support the carbon tax. They still support it being 61¢ a litre, tripling or quadrupling in the coming years, but at the same time now they are saying that it only adds a little bit. To the farmer who gets zero rebates, the trucker who gets zero rebates and the stores that get zero rebates, it is like a compound interest in tax on the pocketbooks of Canadians.
At the same time they pretend to be proud of their climate change record, they are driving up taxes and the cost of living, while at the same time emissions are still going up. They are letting clean energy projects be cancelled in this country. Instead, they have no problem taxing the pocketbooks.
