Mr. Speaker, that would be an eleventh-hour change because the government has been telling young Canadians they are going to have to sacrifice more so that the government can get bigger and bigger. The government even tried to deny that its hidden taxes on food make life more expensive. It called those hidden taxes “imaginary”.
Let me tell everyone that the farmer who has to pay the industrial carbon tax on his new equipment or on the fertilizer he buys has to pass those costs on to Canadians, and food prices go up as a result. He does not have the option to not pay the industrial carbon tax on farm equipment and fertilizer. A concrete measure to help bring prices down would be to scrap the industrial carbon tax.
Will the Liberals do that today?
