Mr. Speaker, it has been eight years since the costly Prime Minister took office, but it was two years ago that he signed a deal with the NDP leader that promised it would bring more affordable food. Since that time, the NDP-Liberals have helped raise food prices by 20%. Their favourite inflationary instrument is the carbon tax. Now they plan to quadruple the carbon tax on the farmers who produce the food, the truckers who ship the food and, therefore, all who buy the food. Canada's food professor is calling for a cap on the carbon tax. Will the Prime Minister cancel his 23% carbon tax hike for April 1?
