Mr. Speaker, during my colleague's speech, which started yesterday, the Minister of Environment rose today to table the details of an announcement that the government made. When we look at the details, we see that nearly $6 billion is being added to Canada's national debt. The surplus that the government promised in 2015 is nowhere to be seen. We know that there will be a bit of tax relief for Canadians, but it is for only two months. The government is using sleight of hand to hoodwink Canadians and taxpayers.
I would like my colleague to elaborate on yesterday's announcement, now that we have some details. What does the future hold for Canadians? We know that the carbon tax is going to be hiked again by $15 a tonne on April 1. I would like my colleague to elaborate on that.
