We always knew this Prime Minister was not worth the cost, but now his carbon tax cover-up has been exposed. We forced him to release data showing that in addition to the higher bills at the pumps and on home heating that Canadians directly pay in the tax, there is also a $30 billion a year hit to our economy. That s $1,800 in lost wages and higher prices for Canadian families. Now that we ve caught them hiding the true cost of their tax, how can we believe anything else they say about any other tax hike?

00:00:00.000 Mr. Speaker, we always knew this Prime Minister was not worth the cost after nine years,
00:00:04.520 but now his carbon tax cover-up has been exposed.
00:00:08.880 We forced him to release data showing that in addition to the higher bills at the pumps
00:00:14.020 and on home heating that Canadians directly pay in the tax,
00:00:17.780 there's also going to be a $30 billion a year hit to our economy.
00:00:23.300 That's $1,800 in lost wages and higher prices for Canadian families.
00:00:29.380 Now that we've caught them hiding the true cost of their tax,
00:00:33.320 how can we believe anything else, they say, about any other tax hike?
00:00:37.800 In fact, right now, Eastern Canada is seeing the second heat wave before the summer has even started.
00:00:43.980 People are being evacuated in Northwest Territories.
00:00:46.560 What's the Conservative response? Let the planet burn. 0.68
00:00:49.680 Mr. Speaker, the fanatical rhetoric of that extremist minister won't change anything.
00:00:55.020 The reality is that nor will his carbon tax change the weather.
00:00:59.380 His carbon tax is not going to eliminate a single forest fire, a single drought, a single heat wave.
00:01:05.700 All it will do is turn up the heat on Canadian taxpayers.
00:01:08.900 Now we know that their 8 in 10 talking point does not include a $25 billion hit to the economy,
00:01:18.120 which works out to almost $2,000 in lost wages and higher prices for families.
00:01:23.420 Again, if they've been hiding this, what else are they hiding about their other tax hikes?
00:01:27.520 Yeah!
