Mr. Speaker, the finance minister might be the only person left in the world who thinks paying more tax makes a person richer and somehow stops climate change. The carbon tax is not about the environment, and it is certainly not about affordability. It is about getting more money for her spending addiction. Even Catherine McKenna admits that the Liberals' plan was always to spend Canadians' money.
It is clear that the Liberals have run out of money. They are going to raise the tax, over and over again, to 61ยข a litre as two million people use a food bank. How many more people will face poverty before the Liberals reverse course?
