Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise here, representing the hard-working people of Newfoundland and Labrador, for the very first time.
While my province of Newfoundland and Labrador has the highest unemployment rate in the country, at nearly 10%, the industrial carbon tax is compromising our competitive edge and shifting our jobs abroad. Canada's energy, mining and forestry workers are pleading to have the industrial carbon tax removed.
Will the Prime Minister fully repeal the industrial carbon tax to create jobs at a time when we need that the most?
