00:00:00.000 Liberals have missed every single emissions target they've set since they put it in.
00:00:04.760 And, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer,
00:00:07.460 the vast majority of Canadians are paying vastly more in carbon tax costs than they get back in rebates,
00:00:12.320 a problem that's about to worsen as the government plans to triple, triple, triple the tax on gas, groceries and heat.
00:00:23.480 Canadians are already cutting back on their diets.
00:00:25.660 Adults are living in their folks' basement because they can't afford a new house. 0.99
00:00:30.380 Will the government cancel this insane plan to triple, triple, triple the tax?
00:00:37.140 Honourable Minister of the Environment.
00:00:41.520 Mr. Speaker, I have a riddle for you.
00:00:44.080 Who said, and I quote,
00:00:45.980 we recognize the most efficient way to reduce our emissions is to use pricing mechanisms.
00:00:51.020 You could say it's the Minister of the Environment,
00:00:53.180 or my friend and colleague, the Minister of Natural Resources,
00:00:56.940 the Deputy Prime Minister of the Minister of Finance.
00:00:59.060 But no, Mr. Speaker, it's the member of Durham.
00:01:01.740 And I agree with him.
00:01:03.280 Pricing mechanism is the most effective way to fight climate change pollution.
00:01:07.060 And we said that in April of 2021, Mr. Speaker.
00:01:09.860 Thank you.
00:01:10.900 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:01:14.640 Tripling a tax at a time like this is not just insane,
00:01:18.660 it is cruel.
00:01:21.620 And this is going to happen even in British Columbia.
00:01:23.820 They have their own tax there,
00:01:25.580 but the federal government,
00:01:27.840 the costly coalition of the NDP and Liberals,
00:01:31.500 want to force BC to triple its tax
00:01:34.380 now at a time when gas prices are $2.40 a litre.
00:01:40.000 So once again, for the third time,
00:01:42.220 will they cancel their plan to triple, triple, triple the tax?
00:01:46.140 The Honourable Minister.
00:01:51.980 Speaker, and I want to thank the Leader of the Opposition
00:01:54.460 to allow me this opportunity to talk about the fact
00:01:56.580 that they were getting there next time.
00:01:58.300 Carbon pricing is good.
00:01:59.640 Now, what they wanted to put in place
00:02:01.400 is the principle of pay to pollute.
00:02:04.160 That's not how we do this on this side of the House, Mr. Speaker.
00:02:06.980 The principle is polluter pay, not pay to pollute.
00:02:10.560 Next time when they flip-flop again on carbon pricing,
00:02:13.300 like they've done about 15 times in the last 10 years,
00:02:17.060 pricing pollution is good,
00:02:19.600 and polluter pay principle.
00:02:21.620 They need to go that extra step, Mr. Speaker.
00:02:23.940 Thank you very much.
00:02:25.100 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:02:27.720 Well, there they go.
00:02:29.060 They want to divide and distract.
00:02:31.420 They attacked the little old lady living in rural Newfoundland, 0.89
00:02:38.380 calling her a polluter for the crime of heating her home in February.
00:02:44.220 According to the Liberal Premier of that province,
00:02:48.180 after the forthcoming increase in the carbon tax,
00:02:51.820 the increased cost of heating the homes of rural Newfoundlanders
00:02:55.580 will have gone up by 80%.
00:02:58.140 Worse yet, this government wants to triple, triple, triple the tax.
00:03:04.220 Why won't they axe the tax?
00:03:07.500 The Honourable Minister.
00:03:11.620 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:03:12.780 I'm happy to announce that we are putting in place a program
00:03:17.060 to help tens of thousands of Canadians to get off home-eating oil.
00:03:21.280 The price of home-eating oil is skyrocketing
00:03:23.460 because of the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Mr. Speaker.
00:03:27.480 We will put a quarter of a billion dollars
00:03:29.760 to help tens of thousands of Canadians
00:03:31.560 go to clean, efficient, renewable energy in Canada
00:03:35.640 to heat their homes and save money, Mr. Speaker.
00:03:38.100 Thank you very much.
00:03:39.380 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:03:40.880 Oh, great.
00:03:42.600 Just what we need.
00:03:44.080 A new government program
00:03:45.840 to help us pay the cost of a government tax.
00:03:51.220 Don't worry.
00:03:52.260 If you live in the countryside of Atlantic Canada,
00:03:55.060 where 40% of people now live in energy poverty
00:03:57.860 after this government has been in power for 70 years,
00:04:00.640 there's a new government program coming.
00:04:02.780 So you need not worry about freezing in the dark
00:04:05.940 as this new tax comes in.
00:04:08.020 That's what they want people to believe. 0.99
00:04:09.620 Canadians are not stupid. 0.99
00:04:11.380 Canadians are not polluters. 1.00
00:04:12.920 They have to heat their homes and travel in a big, cold country.
00:04:16.340 Will this government cancel its plan to triple, triple, triple?
00:04:19.340 The Honourable Deputy Prime Minister.
00:04:26.480 Mr. Speaker, Canadians understand that climate change is real.
00:04:36.480 And Canadians also understand that the global economy
00:04:41.400 is in the midst of a green transition.
00:04:43.680 It's the biggest transition since the Industrial Revolution.
00:04:47.560 Our government believes we need to help Canadians
00:04:51.400 with the green transition.
00:04:53.680 We need to help Canadian companies like our auto manufacturers.
00:04:57.520 And we need to help Canadian families
00:04:59.540 like those families in Atlantic Canada
00:05:01.940 which want to get off home heating oil.
00:05:04.480 We're going to help Canadians with climate action
00:05:06.840 because that's the right thing to do.
00:05:08.120 The Honourable Deputy Prime Minister.
00:05:13.580 You
