Mr. Speaker, someone cannot sit in the big chair if they cannot read their own government documents.
Environment and Climate Change Canada's carbon pollution pricing data, tabled in the House by the government, said that it will cost between $25 billion and $30 billion in lost GDP when the tax is implemented. A further document tabled by the environment minister on carbon tax 2 says there will be another $9-billion hole, for a total of between $34 billion and $40 billion. Now he screams that this is all lies.
Again, if the government documents are lying, what is the true cost of the carbon tax to our economy?
