Madam Speaker, the people in my community are hurting and cannot afford more Liberal taxes. However, demonstrating just how out of touch the government really is, it is making life even more expensive by implementing a second carbon tax during a cost of living crisis of all things. The second carbon tax will add 20¢ on a litre of gasoline on top of the 40¢ from the first carbon tax. Who can afford a 60¢-a-litre increase? The Parliamentary Budget Officer has confirmed that both carbon taxes will have an annual net cost of up to $4,000 per family. Luckily for Canadians, the Conservatives have put forward a motion calling on the government to immediately cancel its second carbon tax. I ask Canadians who are watching, if they agree, to please call and email every MP in the Liberal-NDP coalition before Monday's vote, demanding that they support the motion to cancel the second carbon tax.
