Mr. Speaker, the Liberals deliberately mislead Canadians on two points. The first is that they said they would never go over $50 a tonne, yet here we are on our way to $170 a tonne. The second is that they say that nine out of 10 are going to receive more money back than they pay, but they conveniently ignore the hidden costs of the carbon tax, which are on people's grocery bills and the general cost of everything. The clothes we wear have a carbon tax buried into them. We do not see it on our receipt when we purchase those items, yet it still exists. I wonder if my colleague has any comments about the hidden costs of the carbon tax.

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are disadvantaging the province of Quebec. It is not receiving the rebate, as my colleague referred to in the previous question, but it is paying the carbon tax indirectly on goods that are being shipped into Quebec and being sold. It is paying for the cost of the carbon tax, yet it is not realizing the rebate that the Liberals are saying is going to make this whole entire program revenue-neutral. I am just wondering if my colleague would like to talk a little more about some of his constituents who are having to absorb these costs but are being disadvantaged by the Liberal government.
