Madam Speaker, indeed, the member is an honourable one, so we can call him that. The member is asking a very good question and is making my point exactly. It seems rather ridiculous to be applying a carbon tax to something that people must use. In Canada, we do not really have a choice as to whether to heat our homes, so we do, but we get penalized with a carbon tax. Many of us do not really have a choice in this vast country as to whether we need a car to get to work. Why are those individuals being penalized for making a living? The member opposite is a member of Parliament. He takes a plane here to represent his constituents. Why is that being penalized? These are very good questions, and I encourage him to ask his government.
