Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  . This government has brought in a 14¢-a-litre carbon tax, which has increased the cost of living for everyday Canadians without benefiting the environment.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  , that is where it stops.

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, everyday Canadians need the facts. They do not need just to have a prime minister keeping secrets and then have that same prime minister force other people to keep his secrets as well. The Prime Minister said he admires the basic Chinese Communist dictatorship
