Madam Speaker, on behalf of my constituents, I am tabling a petition calling on the Minister of Finance to suspend the federal excise tax and the carbon tax for Canadians until the cost of living crisis has been resolved. They remind the House of four facts, including that next year the clean fuel standard will raise the cost of living by $1,300, and that the estimated cost of extra mortgages will be about $7,000. My constituents say they are expecting, because of the continuing tax hikes, that many Canadians will not be able to make ends meet. Therefore, they are asking for the Minister of Finance to suspend the federal excise tax and the carbon tax.
