Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, we are back to debating the carbon tax. I would just like to remind everyone that it does not apply in Quebec. In fact, the member for Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis was a minister in Jean Charest's Quebec government when the carbon exchange was created.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  That it is tolerated and has been rewarded with a parliamentary secretary spot is just a mystery to me. That aside, on how high the carbon tax can go, I do not think there is any limit to how high the Liberals can put a tax, especially when it is ineffective. Their plan is to go to at least $270 a tonne. That means, in the short term, at least 61¢ a litre on gasoline, and in my riding, and in the hon. member's riding, there is no public transit.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Will he stand up and agree with the Minister of Finance and the member for Avalon that the carbon tax needs to be fixed as it is hurting people in Atlantic Canada?

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  We believe that that should be through technology, not through taxes that do not work. The carbon tax has had zero impact in this country on the rate of carbon emissions. In fact, every year under the government, except for when it shut the entire economy down during COVID, carbon emissions have gone up.

Points of Order  It is the voting record that shows the Liberal member for Avalon voting to scrap the failed carbon tax and voting with the Conservatives.

Points of Order  Speaker, I would like to table a document. It is a transcript that concerns a matter before the House. “I think [the carbon tax is] hurting them a fair bit,” a member said—

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the Liberal carbon tax was supposed to lower greenhouse gas emissions, but after eight years they are higher than ever, and the cost of fuel and groceries is unaffordable. After eight years, the Liberals were supposed to have alternatives to carbon, like better transit and EV charging stations everywhere, but they failed on that too.

Finance  That is a sign that our society has a serious problem. Meanwhile, the Bloc Québécois wants to radically increase the second carbon tax. Should this government not show a little more compassion and help our food banks? That is just common sense.

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, the Liberals have had a carbon tax in place for many years, and yet I do not see grocery store prices going down. I do not see life becoming more affordable for farmers. When I talk to farmers, their number one issue is not climate change.

Carbon Pricing  For those people especially, the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Will he axe the carbon tax to lower prices, or will he break his promise to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, after eight years under this government, Canada is in debt, divided and humiliated. Despite all that, the Bloc Québécois is backing the Liberals on the second carbon tax. It even voted in favour of it on two occasions. Believe it or not, the Bloc Québécois is calling for a radical increase in this tax. Voting for the Bloc Québécois is so costly that no one can afford it.

The Economy  Once again, that did not happen. What could happen and what will happen, however, is the arrival of a second carbon tax implemented with the enthusiastic support of the Bloc Québécois. A growing number of Quebeckers are starting to realize that voting for the Bloc will cost them. Does the Liberal government know that?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, after eight years, mortgages have doubled and rents have doubled, yet the NDP-Liberal government is quadrupling carbon taxes. A report for Parliament on carbon taxes by the Parliamentary Budget Officer states that Nova Scotians will pay $1,500 more in taxes, thanks to the Atlantic Liberals who voted 23 times for those taxes.

Carbon Pricing  After many conversations with folks in my riding, this comes as no surprise. Most say the inflationary carbon tax is making life unaffordable. In the last eight years, Atlantic Liberal MPs voted 23 times in support of the carbon tax. Will these Atlantic Liberal MPs vote for our Conservative motion to axe the tax, or will they follow their master?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, we know how the Liberals do things. It is obvious: The Prime Minister used the back door to charge a second carbon tax that in the end is going to cost Quebeckers 20¢ a litre of gas. On June 5, the Bloc Québécois had the chance to oppose that tax. The Bloc Québécois MPs chose to vote with the Liberals for the taxes.
