Mr. Speaker, the member has to get his story straight. First, he started his answer by saying that there is no industrial carbon tax, and then he finished it by saying that the industrial carbon tax is great and does not cost anybody any money. He has to decide which it is.
Here is how it works, for a prime minister who does not understand that Canadians need steel: The industrial carbon tax on steel, cement, plastic and other inputs raises the cost of building homes. The tax on farm equipment and fertilizer raises the cost of food.
If the Liberals want an affordable budget for an affordable life, why not scrap the industrial carbon tax on food and homes?
