Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his concern for those who can least afford government taxes. He will know, and I know he will agree, that things such as the industrial carbon tax and the clean fuel regulation are sometimes the most pernicious of taxes because they put the burden on people who can least afford to pay more. Those are the lower-income people who have no choice but to pay more to go to work to buy groceries, so they are harmed the most by some of these taxes. This is in part why our proposal says to give them some relief. Let us give the Canadians who need it the most some relief.
