Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his eloquent presentation.
He talked about the elimination of the carbon tax, which created a debt that has yet to be paid. The Quebec National Assembly roundly condemned this unpaid debt.
We both sat in the last Parliament. Members will recall that every time the Conservatives rose during question period, they said the government was going to “triple, triple, triple the carbon tax”. They would not stop repeating that. Every time, the Liberals insisted that the carbon tax was fundamental, essential and necessary and that the future of the world depended on it.
Then, all of a sudden, the Liberals scrapped it. Can my colleague explain the shift in thinking that led them there?
