Mr. Speaker, I think the most appropriate question is: Will the Conservatives actually look at the data? The data will tell us that eight out of ten Canadian families get more money back, and that it is actually an affordability measure. If the hon. member would actually look at the research done by the University of Calgary she would know that. However, I think Canadians really need to understand that the Conservative approach to climate change is to let the planet burn. It is to leave an impoverished environment and an impoverished economy for the future of our children. Shame, shame, shame.

Mr. Speaker, what do we call someone who says one thing and does the other? We would say they are acting hypocritically. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, we would say that they are acting hypocritically. The Conservative Party says it has principles, and if we do not like them, it has other principles. In the 2021 Conservative platform, on which every one of those members of Parliament was elected, the platform said: We recognize that the most efficient way to reduce our emissions is to use pricing mechanisms. The Conservatives' position is not only devoid of facts, but their position is the height of hypocrisy. How can Canadians believe anything these folks say?
