Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers are making an effort when it comes to the environment and the transition, but the rest of Canada has decided to stop trying. I think that is obvious. Now, in this debate, people have made the mistake of thinking that the April 1 cheque that was sent to eight provinces was in some way related to the carbon tax in those eight provinces, even though it no longer existed, or that it was related to the emissions trading system, to the fact that British Columbia had cancelled its tax, and so on.
These vote-getting cheques were paid out of the federal consolidated revenue fund and were sent to eight provinces, but not to Quebeckers. There is no connection between those cheques and any carbon pricing policy whatsoever, be it federal or provincial.
