Mr. Speaker, when people say that the carbon tax does not apply, it is not true.
Quebec's current system is undergoing a deep overhaul. The system has been in place for 10 years, if not more. When people say that the carbon tax does not apply, it is not true. It does not take a degree in quantum physics to figure out which butter or other products are going to cost more when a truck leaves Ontario for Quebec to make a delivery to a grocery store. This may not apply to butter, because our butter is domestic, but it does apply to any other product that comes from outside the province. It does not take a genius to figure out that everyone is bound to pay more. In fact, the carrier is paying more for gas, because the carbon tax they pay has increased exponentially.
