Mr. Speaker, let me tell members, my constituents are getting that money back every single day. The carbon tax is refundable. Everybody is getting it back. Most importantly, we need that carbon tax because we need to start paying more attention to climate change. We look at what happened this summer in the Maritimes. From coast to coast to coast there was a tremendous amount of damage. It will be years and years before it is ever corrected. All of this is talking about climate change and the changes we need to make for our children's and grandchildren's future.

Mr. Speaker, there is something seriously wrong in our country when working more actually makes people lose money. To fight inflation, we need to reduce the cost of transporting goods. However, when the Liberals triple the carbon tax, that will make everything more expensive to deliver, which will make goods more expensive. I am going to ask this again. When will the Liberals stop their tax hikes and stop beating up on our truckers?

Mr. Speaker, I rise with respect to the Thursday question, where I get to ask the government House leader about the business of the House. Given the news that Canada has come in 58 out of 63 countries, falling behind countries like China and Indonesia, as it relates to its action on reducing global emissions, and since it is clear now that the government's carbon tax is not lowering emissions, will he accept the science and introduce legislation to repeal the carbon tax or, at the very least, freeze the carbon tax and not triple it in the months ahead? As inflation continues to hit almost 7%, will we see any legislation that will repeal some of the wasteful inflationary spending that is causing so much suffering for Canadians? Can we expect either of those two pieces of legislation in the days ahead?
