Mr. Speaker, the PBO disputes those very things.
The carbon tax is, by design, meant to raise prices, and the consequences are devastating. Red Deer, Alberta, a city of only 100,000 people, has seen food bank usage skyrocket in recent years to 30,000, and this year, it is on track to have 40,000 individuals who need help from the food bank. That is in a city of fewer than 100,000 people.
My question is simple. Will the Liberals call a carbon tax election so that Canadians can decide to axe the tax?
