Mr. Speaker, first of all, the government did not scrap the carbon tax; it removed one tax to raise two others.
First, on the clean fuel regulations, I have in front of me a document provided by Environment and Climate Change Canada that shows that, this year, it is a 7¢-a-litre tax. It is even worse than the original carbon tax, since it applies to farms and fishing boats. At least there was an exemption from the other tax. It also applies in Quebec, since these are national regulations that bring up the cost of living. The industrial tax applies to fertilizer.
Second, are taxes alone driving up food prices? Inflationary deficits are also increasing the supply of money and inflating the price of everything. That is the inflation tax. Canadians are paying it. The cost of government is bringing up the cost of living. We need to turn that around. Affordable government means affordable living for all Canadians.
