Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I am curious about whether the hon. member has actually approached Conservative premiers across Canada, who maintain their own taxes on fuel. In particular, in the province of Alberta, Danielle Smith has increased the price of fuel by 13¢ and offers no rebate. I expe

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, there are a number of pieces of misinformation included in my colleague's question.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, with all due respect, I disagree with my colleague.
