Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Atlantic premiers have begged the government to remove the carbon tax from home heating fuels, but instead of listening, the Liberals have come up with carbon tax 2, which is going to punish Atlantic voters even more. Carbon tax 1 is a 40¢-a-litre tax on the pump

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is absolute rubbish that a carbon tax is going to control the weather or bring down natural disasters. The government is not serious about an environmental policy. It has a tax policy. It is going to cost motorists in Atlantic Canada 67¢ more to fill up

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the number one thing that people in my community contact me about is the cost of living. High inflation, mortgage renewal increases and the carbon tax are punishing Canadians. In rural ridings like mine, there is no subway. People need to drive. A good government

Carbon Pricing   wants to add two more carbon taxes on financially stressed Canadians. Liberal carbon tax 1 would add 41¢ a litre on gas. How painful does life have to get before the Prime Minister will finally cancel the carbon tax?

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, this carbon tax costs lower-income Canadians the most. It is an unfair tax. Carbon tax 2 is coming at a time when many Canadians are struggling just to feed themselves. Now every time a Canadian fills up their car, they will be paying an additional tax on the GST

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals already have one carbon tax that would add 41¢ to the price of a litre of gasoline. Carbon tax 2 would add another 17¢ per litre. GST will, of course, be applied to both. This means an extra 61¢ on the price of a litre of gas. Since Canadians cannot

Conservative Party of Canada   hurt into hope. We will bring home bigger paycheques, scrap the punishing carbon taxes and bring down the cost of living, so we can dream big in Canada again. Let us bring it home.

Committees of the House   to make note for this report that the Conservatives did call for the removal of the inflationary carbon tax on intercity bus travel, and unfortunately our recommendation was not accepted by the majority of the committee. We did hear from bus operators in Saskatchewan, Newfoundland

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, does the finance minister know what the cost will be for an Ontario family as a result of carbon tax 2 in the fourth quintile?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, there is no such thing as carbon tax 2. There is something called the clean fuel—

Business of Supply   Canadian family $611 as a result of carbon tax 2. What is the cost the average Ontario family is going to pay as a result of carbon tax 1 and carbon tax 2?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, what Canadians know is that they are going to food banks in record numbers. In my town of Orangeville, there has been a 65% increase in seniors accessing food banks since 2015. This is a result of the carbon tax increasing the cost of food and everything else

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the answer is 61¢. What is the Nova Scotia GDP contraction as a result of carbon tax 2?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the answer is the GDP of Nova Scotia will contract by 0.7%. Fascinating. The other thing I would like to discuss is that Nova Scotia is prevented from lowering the fuel tax due to the requirement in the carbon tax benchmark that provinces not offset the price
