Mr. Speaker, the member wants me to tell the truth about the permanent tax change. There is a permanent tax change he has supported, which is to jack up the carbon tax on absolutely everything. He has voted to quadruple that tax to an eyewatering 61¢ a litre that would literally grind our economy to a halt. It would take food off grocery shelves, take parts out of factories and shut down the farm vehicles that bring us our food. It would be a nuclear winter if the tax increase that he has voted to legislate into place ever happens. That is why we need a carbon tax election: so that I can axe the tax.
