Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  If anyone had any doubt about that, that doubt dissipated at the finance committee last week when the member for Whitby asked the PBO how he knew that his measure of the economic impact of the carbon tax was correct. He said that, because he had seen the homework and the federal government's analysis, it was correct based on that. Therefore, we are calling for the end of the carbon tax cover-up.

Transport committee  As you're looking to do a number of projects and as you're looking for traffic to return to Gander airport, what would be the impact of the carbon tax on that? I mean, obviously the carbon tax is applied to the cost of materials but also to anything that goes into the operation of the airport. Are you able to quantify what that might be for Gander?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, Canadians are not buying what the Prime Minister is selling because they know that the carbon tax is not worth the cost. Canadians cannot put gas in their cars or food on their tables. They know the real pain of the carbon tax, and so does the Parliamentary Budget Officer, who confirmed that the Liberals have an economic analysis of the carbon tax that shows the real pain of that tax, but they refuse to release it.

Carbon Pricing  There is a secret Liberal report that shows that the Liberal carbon tax is not worth the cost. Will the Prime Minister table that report and the carbon tax cover-up, and admit to Canadians that the carbon tax is all pain, no gain?

Carbon Tax  Across Canada, one in five people says they or someone they know used a food bank in the last year. However, the NDP-Liberals still plan to quadruple their inflationary carbon tax over the next six years. The budget watchdog already proved their carbon tax is not worth the cost and drives up the price of everything for everyone. The majority of people are worse off with the carbon tax, but the Prime Minister will not listen.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  For first nations, carbon taxes are not about federalism but rather a violation of first nations land rights and an affront to the economic reconciliation efforts the federal government has promised. I'll leave it there for now.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We also know that most conservative economists think the carbon tax is the most efficient way of addressing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Chief Abram, is your problem with the carbon tax per se or with the fact that you think first nations should get more of the rebate?

Carbon Tax  Speaker, every day I hear NDP-Liberals make the disturbing claim that Canadians get more than they pay into the carbon tax. It is as if they are completely tone-deaf to the voices of real Canadians, so I am bringing the stories of everyday Calgarians right into this chamber. Here is the real impact of the carbon tax: For the Royal Canadian Legion 285, it was $12,144 this year; for Bitter Sisters Brewing Company, it was $8,200 last year; and for Maria, her husband, and their two wonderful children, the burden is becoming absolutely unbearable.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I just want to know, if you can elaborate further on what you meant by that and how you view the carbon tax.

The Economy  The only people getting fed are in the growing bureaucracy here in Ottawa; this is not helping families. We talk about the carbon tax, and the Liberals say, “Oh, it is not punitive; it is not a big deal at all, because there is so much more money going back to Canadians than before. So many families are getting more money in the rebates than they are paying in the carbon tax.”

Carbon Pricing  In the middle of winter, one has to use a Scoot to take kids to school. They are not eligible to receive the 20% rural top-up under the carbon tax we have now. Think about that. For people in downtown Toronto, as the Deputy Prime Minister said that she can just go out of her house, walk out and get on the subway. She can get on a streetcar.

Carbon Pricing  Canadians are struggling to afford food and the NDP-Liberal government does not care. From its carbon tax to red tape to its ban on plastics for produce, every single bad policy the government announces hurts our farmers and makes food more expensive. One farmer paid over $25,000 in a single month in carbon tax alone.

Carbon Pricing  If it is not true, why the gag order? Why are they not allowing the PBO to release the carbon tax cover-up that shows the true cost of what it is costing Canadians?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, Canadians are not being fooled by the Prime Minister or the Deputy Prime Minister. They know that the carbon tax is making their lives more unaffordable. Last week, the Parliamentary Budget Officer confirmed that a secret government report shows that the carbon tax costs Canadians more than they get back.

Carbon Pricing  When will the Liberal-NDP cover-up coalition lift the gag order and release the report to confirm what Canadians already know, which is that the Prime Minister and his carbon tax scam are not worth the cost?
