Mr. Speaker, I have been asking a few questions about what is not in the budget.
One thing that is missing from the budget is the $814 million that the Bloc Québécois was calling for. We wanted that money to be returned to Quebeckers following the spring rebate on a carbon tax that had never been paid. Cheques totalling $4 billion were sent out across Canada, except to Quebec and British Columbia.
The tax had not been paid, but it was reimbursed anyway. That is not a rebate; that is a gift. On top of that, to pay for the gift, $814 million of that $4 billion came from tax dollars paid by Quebeckers. That is theft.
Does my colleague agree with me that this $814 million should have been reimbursed to Quebec in the budget?
