Mr. Speaker, speaking of no evidence, we actually filed an Order Paper question asking for proof that his carbon tax is reducing emissions, and it came back that there was no evidence. After eight years in government, after years of raising the tax, they have no proof it reduces emissions at all. However, we know it increases food prices, and this is why Canada's food professor said, “I am recommending a pause on the carbon tax for the entire food industry from farm gate to stores and restaurants.” If the Prime Minister does not have the common sense to axe the tax, will he listen to the food professor and cancel his plan to hike it?
