Mr. Speaker, Bill C-4 eliminates pollution pricing for consumers, for individuals, but it does not propose any measures to offset the negative effects on the environment. Furthermore, members will recall that when the government eliminated the carbon tax, they sent a cheque to all Canadians outside Quebec. This little gift was sent out in the middle of the election campaign as a rebate for a tax that no longer existed.
That amounts to $814 million taken out of Quebeckers' pockets. The National Assembly unanimously requested that this money be returned to Quebeckers. The Bloc Québécois raised this issue before the budget was tabled.
Does the government plan to give back the $814 million that was stolen from Quebeckers?
