House Hansard - 288

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 288 - Feb/29/24
Mrs. Cathay Wagantall (Yorkton—Melville, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, while common-sense Conservatives will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime, the Prime Minister is not worth his cost, crime or corruption after eight years. With heartless indifference, the Liberals are turning a blind eye to the affordability challenges Canadians are facing, threatening a 23% carbon tax hike four weeks from now. Four weeks from now, hard-working Canadians' paycheques will buy even less food to feed their families, while a Conservative bill, Bill C-234, which would have saved our farmers $1 billion in carbon taxes and provided relief to families at the grocery store, is being ignored by the Liberal-NDP government. The Climate Change Performance Index now ranks Canada 62nd out of 67 countries, further proof the carbon tax has done nothing to address climate change, because the carbon tax is not an environmental plan but a tax plan that is deepening the misery and despair of Canadians. When common-sense Conservatives form government and serve the people of Canada, we will restore Canadians' confidence and axe the tax.

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.
