Mr. Speaker, the line at one of the food banks in Quebec City this morning was longer than we have ever seen. These are people who, after eight years under this Liberal government, can no longer afford to buy food. The carbon tax, which applies to the production and transportation of the items we buy at the grocery store, is a major contributing factor.
The “Liberal Bloc” supports this tax, which is sending people directly to food banks. What is worse, the Bloc Québécois wants to drastically increase the carbon tax at the expense of Quebeckers who are struggling to make ends meet. People are finally realizing that voting Bloc is costly.
Rather than dodging the issue and shouting in the House, will the Bloc Québécois finally show some compassion and vote in favour of our motion to cancel the carbon taxes?
