Mr. Speaker, his quadrupling carbon tax is all financial pain and no environmental gain. Today we learned that, after nine years under the Prime Minister, Canada now ranks 62nd out of 67 countries for the climate change performance index. The Prime Minister says that Canadians starving or lined up at food banks should congratulate themselves on the fact that his tax has made us 62nd. He says we are 62nd, and he pumps his fist into the air.
Why does the Prime Minister make Canadians pay such high taxes to achieve such terrible results?
