Mr. Speaker, common-sense Conservatives will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. After eight years, the Liberal-NDP Prime Minister is not worth the cost, the crime or the corruption. Never before in the history of this great nation have so many people had to resort to food banks. Thousands are now resorting to dumpster diving because they can no longer afford the cost of food. Will the Prime Minister show some compassion and cancel the April 1 carbon tax hike?

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are getting back far less from the government than they are paying in hard-earned taxes. According to Second Harvest, this year will see a 30% rise in the demand for food charity in some regions. Where I live in southern Ontario, we produce food to feed the entire nation, yet so many families there still do not have enough income to cover basic food expenses. Why will the government not do the right thing and cancel the 23% carbon tax hike on April 1 so that Canadian families can afford food again.
