Mr. Speaker, the finance minister recently scoffed at Canadians when she told the CBC that the carbon tax does not add to the challenges that they face. Talk about being out of touch. The minister should get her facts straight. According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, once the Liberals triple their carbon tax, the net cost to Alberta families will be more than $2,000. This tone-deaf, downtown-Toronto finance minister should realize that, when $2,000 is added onto the bills of hard-working Albertans, it significantly adds to the challenges they face. The minister should come down from her ivory tower, give Canadians a break and axe the tax.
