Madam Speaker, I can assure the House, the minister and everyone here that on this side of the House we are fully in favour of standing up for LGBTQ+ communities. People can rest assured of that. Another thing they can be sure of is that unfortunately, the Liberals have invented a new tax to further tax individuals and take more money out of everyone's pockets. As we face the current challenge of inflation, this is going to cost families in Quebec an extra $436, on average. Can the minister seriously tell us that it is a good idea to create a new tax when we are struggling with inflation?

Also, the fact is that, just a few months ago, someone said that deficits and out-of-control spending add fuel to the inflationary fire. Who said that? It was the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. However, a few months later, she presented a budget that increased the deficit and increased spending. Seriously, can the minister say that taking another $436 out of Quebec families' pockets with a new tax is a good idea?
