  • Re: Bill C-30 
Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise on Bill C-30 today. Yesterday, I was intrigued by a poll commissioned by the national accounting firm MNP. It found that half of B.C. residents are having a hard time saving money, and that 46% in the Ipsos poll feel that transportation is getting increasingly unaffordable. According to the poll, 40% of British Columbians also said that housing was a real and significant challenge. It does not take an Ipsos poll or an article in Business in Vancouver, though, to understand and to know what is going on in our province and the major challenges that people are facing right now. Before I go on, I want to seek unanimous consent to split my time with the member for Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame.

I believe the Deputy Speaker this morning put it best. If both sides play by the rules and follow the rules, we will all be better off. The hon. member for Vancouver Granville.

Mr. Speaker, the problem is that the government wants to tax it all away. In fact, it wants to triple the carbon tax on gas, heat and groceries at a time when Vancouver's gas prices hit $2.40 a litre, and we learned today that Ontario will soon have a 10¢ a litre sudden spike in gas prices. This is exactly the wrong time for a tax hike. Will the government cancel its plan to triple the tax?
