moved:

That an order of the House do issue to the government for a copy of the government's economic analysis on the impact of the federal fuel charge and the output-based pricing system referenced in the response to the Parliamentary Budget Officer's information request IR0776, provided that it shall be laid upon the table, in both official languages and without redaction, no later than Monday, June 17, 2024.

Mr. Speaker, I move that the House call on the Liberal government to enshrine into law that the bottom 99.8%—

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order—

[Persons With Disabilities, June 12th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I believe if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following—

[Taxation, June 12th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I just gave that minister more than 20 opportunities to prove that what she was saying was true. I asked her, and she refused, if she would give an exemption to her tax hike to carpenters, farmers, fishermen, plumbers, union workers, restaurant owners and electricians. She said no. She said no to exempting people who earn less than $120,000 a year. Why? It is because we know that that is exactly who she is going after. She is going to rob the people who pay the bills in this country, to pay for her obese and out-of-control spending.

Why will she not finally end the rip-off?

[Taxation, June 12th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, using Statistics Canada data, Dr. Jack Mintz calculated that 50% of those who will pay this tax increase earn less than $120,000 a year and that 10% earn less than $18,000 a year.

We do not have to dispute these numbers. Why do we not just make it simple and make it clear?

Will the minister accept an amendment to exempt anyone who earns less than $120,000 a year from this tax increase, yes or no?

[Taxation, June 12th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, would the minister accept an amendment to her proposed tax hike to exempt carpenters, plumbers, electricians and farmers, yes or no?

[Taxation, June 12th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, there are many union workers who have rental properties that they invest in. Will the minister make the commitment that no union worker will have to pay this tax increase?

[Taxation, June 12th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, will the Liberals exempt electricians from this tax hike?

[Taxation, June 12th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the minister proposes this new tax increase on every single dollar that a fisherman earns inside of his small business. There is no $250,000 exemption for him. Even if he just earns $1,000, he will have to pay the tax increase. We forget that it is not just our wonderful farmers who feed us, but also our fishermen.

Will the finance minister amend her bill to ensure that there will not be a single fish harvester anywhere in Canada who will face a tax increase?
