Mr. Speaker, the job-killing carbon tax is a tax plan, and after eight years it is making everything more expensive. After eight years of a Liberal anti-energy agenda, Canadians have been deprived of economic prosperity, and the livelihoods of millions of workers in the energy, manufacturing and transportation sectors are on the unjust transition chopping block. After eight years, Canadians are struggling to cope with 40-year highs in inflation, and 1.5 million Canadians visited a food bank in a single month. Heating one's home in the winter is not a luxury, yet after eight years of the Liberals in charge, Canadians are being forced to choose between heating or eating. After eight years, Canadians are out of money and cannot afford to eat, heat or house themselves. Canada's Conservatives are ready to turn the hurt into hope and help families get ahead, not just get by. We will clean up this disaster and ensure that Canadians can get their heat on by turning the carbon tax off.

Mr. Speaker, in December 2019, Dan's heating bill was $175. In January of this year, using the same amount of heat, it nearly tripled to almost $400. After eight years of the Prime Minister, the Liberals continue to take away what Canadians need to survive: heating, housing and food. There are no solutions, just more tax. How is this compassionate? How is this leadership? We know they are capable of backtracking. Will the Liberals do it? Will they keep the heat on and take the tax off?
