Mr. Speaker, the Hortons could not afford a home in Ontario, so they found their dream home on a lake in Nova Scotia. The kids love skating and swimming on the lake. Life was good until this year. The increased cost of everything, like a 68% increase in the cost to heat a home in Nova Scotia, forced the Hortons to have to choose between paying their mortgage and heating their home. The Hortons want to know why the Liberal government will not do the right thing and cancel its planned carbon tax on home heating.

Mr. Speaker, as the member knows, heat pumps do not work when it gets below -10°C. He should do his homework. Liberal inflation is causing the Hortons to have to sell their home and move to a smaller place. They are working harder and falling further behind. They want to save a little money at the end of the month, but home heating increases are eating up their paycheques. Melody Horton has a simple question: Why will the Liberal government not do the right thing and cancel its planned carbon tax on home heating?
