Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1   to bring home powerful paycheques for Canadians with lower taxes, and we need to scrap the carbon tax, as we have said over and over again, so that hard work pays off again. Right now, in Canada, we know and we hear it constantly, the cost of food is out of control, people are skipping

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the Liberals' approach does puzzle me as well. They tax everything that moves. For the first time in Canadian history, during COVID, the Liberal government charged our hospitals to heat themselves. It charged a carbon tax on hospitals, universities and schools

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the Conservatives keep repeating themselves. It is always more or less the same speech. They talk about the carbon tax being tripled. Since the beginning of the session, the Conservative opposition days, the budget, it is always the same thing. We have to get rid

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, we have to address inflation. The problem with the carbon tax is that it impacts everything. We are a big country, and we move goods all over the place. Quebec is somewhat insulated from this because there is no backstop program, but there are six other provinces

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1   of farmers who work their land to feed the world. The longer the Prime Minister remains in power, the more difficult it becomes to farm in Canada. Not only is the Liberal government's costly carbon tax preventing Canadian farmers from feeding the world, but the Prime Minister's

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  . It is just staggering. At what point does the Prime Minister look in the mirror to understand where the problem lies? The second thing Conservatives are demanding is an end to the Prime Minister's carbon tax hikes. Canadians know that the Prime Minister's carbon tax

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his important question. The carbon tax was effectively put in place by the government to get people to change their behaviour. The people who pay this tax were to receive the equivalent amount in the form of a rebate. Obviously

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1   about the carbon tax. They talk about real support that the government could provide, such as an increase in old age security or a review of the guaranteed income supplement. I do not see a lot of seniors in Quebec stopping me on the street to talk about about the carbon tax.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I have a question that perhaps the member can answer. Why do the Liberals and the NDP insist on imposing a carbon tax when it clearly is not working? Emissions continue to rise, so why are they imposing this?

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1   to balanced budgets. The fact is, Canadian families are currently being heavily taxed by the government. This is to say nothing of the carbon tax and the second carbon tax that is right around the corner. Michel Girard continues with the following: Well, no. According to finance

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is out of touch, and Canadians are out of money. What is the Liberal solution? It is more tax and, in fact, a tax on a tax. The original carbon tax added 41¢ a litre on gas. This second carbon tax is going to add an additional 17¢ a litre

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are struggling with the costs of food and fuel. They are facing a cost of living crisis, but what is the Liberal government doing about it? It is adding a second carbon tax. Canadians need a break, not a tax, and 61¢ a litre could mean the difference

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are on the ropes, trying to pay this Liberal carbon tax. It raises gas prices by 41¢ a litre every single time they fill up. However, like a one-two punch, the Prime Minister is now forcing a second carbon tax on Canadians, adding another 17¢ to the cost

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, this government has been in office for eight years now and the only thing that it has done for the environment is impose a carbon tax. Clearly the plan is working. Just look at the wildfires burning outside. To make matters worse, the Liberals want to add a second

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, here is the reality of the carbon tax on Canadian farmers. An average 5,000-acre farm would pay $150,000 a year in carbon taxes. Alberta ranchers who use gas co-ops are paying 60% more in federal carbon taxes than they are for the actual natural gas. Forty-four per
