Mr. Speaker, I think the minister should talk to his own constituents in Prince Edward Island, who are paying $1,600 a year in carbon taxes and getting about $1,000 back in the rebate, meaning it is costing islanders $600 a year in the carbon tax. That has consequences.
Higher carbon taxes are driving Canadians to food banks in unprecedented numbers. As a matter of fact, in his province, the Caring Cupboard food bank is struggling just to keep its doors open, as demand has increased 70%. There are 5,500 families it is serving.
Will the minister support a carbon tax election and give his Islanders a voice?
