Madam Speaker, I do not know where to begin. That is such a patchwork of nonsense that it is fascinating.
The member for Winnipeg North knows full well that these rebates were sent out at the beginning of each quarter. It was not money that had already been spent, but money in anticipation of the expenses that would be incurred due to the carbon tax, and he knows that very well.
Seniors in Quebec are also struggling to make ends meet. As long as the Liberals are engaging in vote-seeking ploys like this and sending cheques to everyone, why not also include Quebec's seniors, since my colleague seems so concerned about them?
Seriously, the Liberals need to stop spouting nonsense and start telling the truth. That money was paid for in large part from Quebeckers' taxes, not from the carbon tax that was charged before April 1.
