Mr. Speaker, perhaps a better question is why the Conservatives keep on pointing to imaginary taxes as they go forward.
Let us be clear: There is no food packaging tax. I have said it before, but I will say it again: There is no food packaging tax. Beyond that, the industrial carbon price does not add to the cost of food. Study after study has been done and proves that point.
If the Conservatives want to support Canadians, I hope they will support the programs we put forth, and I hope they will fight climate change, because that is actually one of the major causes of the increased cost of food.
