Mr. Speaker, during the election campaign, we witnessed an electioneering ploy that one journalist actually described as crass. It is important to note that the consumer carbon price was scrapped by the former Liberal government. During this election campaign, even though the carbon tax had been scrapped, the government sent $3.7 billion in cheques to Canadians to offset a tax that had been scrapped.
What is worse, those cheques were paid for by all Canadians, including, of course, Quebeckers. However, Quebeckers are the only ones who did not receive these rebate cheques. We are talking about nearly $800 million that came out of Quebeckers' pockets but was sent outside Quebec as a financial rebate for a tax that no longer exists.
Will the Liberal government repay the $800 million that Quebeckers unfairly paid?
