Mr. Speaker, the minister can tell all the people lining up at food banks that they have never had it so good, but she knows that prices are not coming down. She also knows that her carbon tax will not stop a single forest fire or flood; the Liberals have admitted that. Therefore, Canadians get the brutal double whammy of all the extra cost associated with natural disasters, plus the carbon tax on top of it. Now the NDP leader is trying to pull off another stunt: He is trying to fool Canadians into thinking that he has some new position on the carbon tax. In reality, he loves it. He has voted for it 24 times.
If they are so sure that Canadians love their carbon tax, why do they not take it to the Canadian people and let them decide in a carbon tax election?
