Mr. Speaker, it is good to see that the minister is not denying that Canadian farmers are being punished with two carbon taxes. In fact, they are facing the highest inflation rates in 40 years. Nowhere is that more acute than with the price of food, which is already up 10%. However, rather than offering support for Canadians, the Liberals are doubling down with a second carbon tax. What will that do? We are seeing forecasts that food prices will go up another 34% over the next two years, adding another $5,000 to the annual food costs of Canadians. Again, when the government introduces a second carbon tax, how many farmers will go broke and how many Canadians will go hungry?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are doubling down on their failed scam with a second carbon tax and Canadians are paying the price. Carbon tax 1 drove up the cost of feed, fuel and fertilizer, driving up the cost of food more than $1,000 per family. Higher carbon taxes mean higher food bank use. Last year, more than five million families were using a food bank every month. With a higher carbon tax, the use of food banks has gone up a staggering 60%. More than eight million Canadians are using a food bank every single month. My question is for the Prime Minister. How many Canadians are going to use a food bank when he implements the carbon tax 2.0?
