Mr. Speaker, of the Liberal ministers who still remain, not a single one would stick around yesterday to even defend the statement. They dropped it here and then ran out the door. This is $62 billion of new debt and new inflationary spending for Canadians to pay on their grocery bills, on their home heating and on everything else. This is equivalent to spending a dollar every second for nearly 2,000 years. The Prime Minister has clearly lost control of his caucus. He has lost control of his cabinet. He has now lost control of spending.
When will he give Canadians the chance to weigh in and call a carbon tax election?
