Mr. Speaker, I agree with my colleague.
Canadian citizens stopped paying the carbon tax as of April 1, which means that their rebates were just vote-getting handouts.
Earlier, one of my fellow MPs from Quebec said that no one in Quebec asked to be reimbursed, but he is unaware that there has been a lot of talk about this situation in the media. The Quebec National Assembly even voted unanimously in favour of a motion in this regard. Even Liberal MNAs agreed that it was inconceivable that the federal government was handing out election goodies paid for in part by Quebeckers, who received no compensation.
