Mr. Speaker, yesterday at committee, the environment minister recklessly promised to quadruple the carbon tax, despite American tariffs that would cripple our economy. He gleefully stated that, of course, they are going to continue with the carbon tax. With 40% of our economy dependent upon trade with the United States, he should have just said that he is going to kill our economy. He has done it before, and he will do it again.
Why is the minister so hell-bent on vandalizing Canada's economy?
