Mr. Speaker, Canadians in rural and northern communities are disproportionately disadvantaged by the Prime Minister’s carbon tax. New studies by the parliamentary budget office and the Bank of Canada have confirmed that Canadians are paying more in this tax than they receive in rebates and that this tax is contributing to out-of-control inflation. Knowing that so many rural and northern families and seniors are already struggling to pay for essentials like groceries, home heating and fuel, why would the Prime Minister break his election promise and increase this punitive tax yet again?
