Mr. Speaker, the Bank of Canada, the undisputed authority on inflation, estimated that the planned increase in the carbon tax this year would have raised prices by 0.1% in Canada in the provinces where the tax applied. I would remind the House that it did not apply in Quebec.
In Quebec, the projected increase was 0.01%, which is marginal. That is one-hundredth of 1%, or one cent per $100 purchase. We are talking about groceries here.
I would like to know if my hon. colleague has the same figures, since the Bank of Canada had been very clear that this was not a big deal.
