Mr. Speaker, Quebec has its own carbon pricing system.
It is completely illogical for my Liberal colleagues to say that the Canadians who participated in the federal carbon pricing system are entitled to a rebate for a tax that they did not pay. That is like saying there is no need to pay taxes to receive a tax refund. It is totally illogical. The Liberals' only justification for this is to say that Quebec had its own pricing system. That is inconsistent and illogical. It really surprises me to see members from Quebec rise to defend an inconsistency that I consider to be stupid and that is at their constituents' expense.
Just for fun, we calculated earlier what $800 million represents. That comes out to roughly $10 million per Quebec riding, stolen from each member from Quebec. The Liberals are pleased. That is what I call lackeyism.
