Madam Speaker, we just did a bunch of interviews with loggers in Fort St. John who will be losing their jobs right before Christmas. They will be struggling to put food on the table for a Christmas meal, let alone buy their kids any toys. I would say that that is even worse than the money.
Members can imagine somebody taking a person's wallet. That would be bad enough. The minister has come and taken their wallets, but he has taken their jobs as well. It is the worst of the worst, and the fact that he is benefiting from that money and, at the same time, benefiting from the demise of our critical resource sector in this country is shameful. The minister needs to resign, and we need a carbon tax election today.
