Mr. Speaker, I would like to give the minister some facts about what Canadian families are facing. Some 35% of Albertan families are skipping meals because of high food costs. Food bank usage in Mississauga is up 60%. Doctors are worried about scurvy because families cannot buy nutritious food. Food inflation in Canada is 37% higher than in the United States. The government's own Parliamentary Budget Officer admitted and confirmed the carbon tax is all pain and no gain. The NDP-Liberal government can end the pain it is inflicting on Canadians by calling a carbon tax election.
Will the government do it?
