Mr. Speaker, we all know Canadian families are feeling the financial pinch. Liberal inflation is hitting them right in the pocketbook. The Liberal government needs to give them a break. The easy way to do that is to agree to our one key demand: do like other G7 countries and cancel the carbon tax hike. Canada is the only country fixated on increasing the carbon tax. Will this government finally agree to our demand and follow in the other G7 countries' footsteps?

Mr. Speaker, the plan she is referring to is a tax plan. At the same time that the Liberal government is insisting on increasing the carbon tax, it is announcing new spending to please the NDP, which, members will recall, is keeping the Liberals in power. People living in rural areas no choice but to drive because there is no public transit. Families, workers and businesses are being hit hard by the carbon tax. How can this government just look away and pretend that it does not see that the carbon tax is slowing down the economy, making Canadians poorer and not helping the environment?
