Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I enjoyed my colleague's speech. We know the carbon tax disproportionately affects rural Canadians. I was shocked this week to see that my riding of York—Simcoe is now classified as Toronto. The Liberals came up with this meagre top-up for people, which is about

International Trade committee  Thank you, Mr. Christie. Also during your testimony, in response to a question from my colleague, you indicated that no study of the impact of a carbon tax on Ukraine's reconstruction efforts had been factored in or taken place. Again, I go back to reading that two-page

International Trade committee  I'll just build on previous comments that the chapter does not require the imposition of a carbon tax in Ukraine. It is very largely co-operation based and based on principles for building on co-operation in this area.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Chair. I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us this afternoon. I just want to build on some comments that you made earlier, Mr. Christie, when it came to the inclusion of the carbon tax. What we see is that it's included in this free trade agreement

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, Seth Klein said this, “The fed NDP have a motion coming forward Tuesday trying to shift the debate caused by the Lib's boneheaded carbon tax carve-out. This motion lays out a far better approach. This alternate motion calls on government to eliminate the GST for all

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I find it very interesting that yesterday the NDP voted with Conservatives on our common-sense motion to remove the carbon tax from all forms of home heating for all Canadians, instead of just singling out the 3% of Canadians who use heating oil for their homes

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will remind the member that I was very clear in my speech that we offered amendments more than once for the Conservative motions around their carbon-taxing concerns. We have pointed out that B.C., Quebec and the Northwest Territories are not included. Why

International Trade committee  . You talked about carbon pricing. Have you analyzed the impact of the carbon tax on post-war reconstruction?

International Trade committee  We haven't done that type of analysis in terms of how a potential carbon tax would have an impact on future reconstruction efforts in Ukraine.

Business of Supply  , which is an error of judgment. When members say that the carbon tax is an end, that is an error of judgment. The carbon tax is simply a means. Getting back to the NDP motion, it seems noble on the surface. Who would not want to help the least fortunate? Is that really what

Public Accounts committee   when on the battlefield or making sure that the CERB program is equal for everybody across the country. As I said, the carbon tax was a good example.

International Trade committee  You can put in a carbon tax element in a trade agreement, but you can't put in anything that would support LNG co-operation.

International Trade committee  The difference for the client.... First of all, on the carbon tax point, this is a co-operation-based discussion in the agreement. There aren't binding provisions on carbon taxes or climate change. What we've included in this trade agreement is an ability for the parties

International Trade committee  We just clarified at the beginning of my comments that usually—in your words—there has not been mention of a carbon tax in previous agreements, and now you say that usually there is not the inclusion of LNG in agreements.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my hon. colleague a question. There is a 70-year-old grandmother in Newfoundland who cannot afford to eat or heat her home. She has had to go out and get a second job to support her family. How is the carbon tax going to help this individual
