Mr. Speaker, if the carbon tax made people better off, we would not see a doubling of food bank use under the Prime Minister. He cannot blame the rest of the world. Food prices have risen 36% faster in Canada than in the United States of America in the same time period, and that gap grew as the carbon tax came in year after year over the last half-decade. If we tax the farmers who make the food, the truckers who ship the food and the grocers who sell the food, we tax all who buy the food.
If he really wants to quadruple that tax, why not have a carbon tax election so that Canadians can decide?
