Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague asked an excellent question. I think I saw the carbon tax in this House reduced to what I would call nursery rhyme politics. It was used as an affordability issue, and most Canadians, frankly, were left underinformed about how the carbon tax worked and what its benefits and costs were. The truth is that this is where we are at right now. The carbon tax has been eliminated because people think that this will help save them money.
It is our job as parliamentarians now to put our nose to the grindstone, find other effective ways to reduce carbon, and also address the very serious affordability issues that are affecting Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
