House Hansard - 263

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
December 6, 2023 02:00PM
Context: House Hansard - 263 - Dec/6/23
Ms. Melissa Lantsman (Thornhill, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, a desperate and panicking Prime Minister spent the weekend calling Liberal senators, pleading with them to keep the carbon tax on farmers. The Conservatives' common-sense plan would take the tax off the people who grow the food, ship the food, and, as a result, off Canadians who buy the food. Yesterday, he got his Christmas wish. Liberal senators gutted Bill C-234, a move that will keep food prices high while Canadians visit food banks in record numbers. Will the Prime Minister finally listen to the outcry? Will he listen to anyone but his globe-trotting activist environment minister and take the tax off so people can put food on their tables this Christmas?

Mr. Speaker, every single senator who voted against the bill was a Liberal senator. The Prime Minister's carbon tax has already ruined Christmas for millions of Canadian families, so Conservatives are going to ruin Christmas vacation for the Prime Minister and his Liberal MPs. We will stay here as long as it takes to force them to axe the tax so Canadians can afford gas, groceries and home heating. How long are we going to be here? Is it one week, two weeks or three weeks until the Prime Minister finally relents and cancels his carbon tax on farmers, families and first nations?
