Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition from numerous constituents who are concerned about the climate emergency. They call on the government to reduce emissions to levels proposed by the international scientific body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the leading global authority. They ask that Canada's emissions reduction target be increased to at least 60% below 2005 levels by 2030 and that Canada create good green jobs that include the workforce to ensure that effective workers and communities are protected in the transition away from fossil fuels. They ask that this transition be assisted through increasing taxes on the wealthiest and corporations, as well as financing through a national public bank.

Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer says that 60% of households in Ontario, in Alberta, in Saskatchewan and in Manitoba pay more than they get back. It started at $30 a ton. Then it was $40 a ton. Now it is $50 a ton, and the Liberals are on track to triple it to $170 a ton. Emissions have gone up. The price of everything has also gone up. I will ask again. When do the Liberals plan to step out of fantasy land, join us in the real world and admit that their plan to triple the carbon tax is wrong?
