Mr. Speaker, the minister might want to read the rest of the report, because in the quote he cited, he focused on a very key word, “only” the direct costs. When we factor in all the economic costs, it costs the Canadian household $1,400. Canadians are net losers under the carbon tax scheme, and the minister knows it.
If the minister is so sure that Canadians want the government to quadruple the tax, why not let the people decide in a carbon tax election?
