Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has often boasted
about inheriting a great family fortune.
He's never had to worry about the cost of living,
so it's no wonder that he doesn't worry when
his policies drive up the cost for Canadians.
His tax on gas, on home heating and groceries
will hurt seniors, suburban moms and small businesses.
And worse, government documents now show that by
the year 2022, the Carbon Tax will have to be
six times higher than Liberals now admit,
driving up gas prices another whopping
70¢ a litre and home heating by another $1,000 a year.
So, what is the full and final price of the Liberal Carbon Tax?
The Honourable Prime Minister.
Mr. Speaker, we have put forward a strong and robust
plan to address climate change and to support
Canadians through this transition.
We have a plan and it's perfectly okay, obviously
for people to ask questions, or to criticize or to suggest improvements.
What is not correct, Mr. Speaker, is to not recognize that the Conservatives
have no plan to fight climate change.
They have no idea how to fight climate change,
or prepare our economy for the future,
to create the jobs of the future.
They don't see it to be as a priority,
and Mr. Speaker that's where they're wrong.
Canadians know from wildfires to floods to droughts
right across the country. We need to act
on climate change and they are not.
The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
Mr. Speaker, it's the Liberal government that doesn't
have a plan to reduce emissions in Canada.
All their plan is, is a tax grab.
The reason why we know it won't reduce emissions
is because they've given a massive exemption
to the largest emitters in Canada.
The full cost of the Carbon Tax will fall to
hard-working Canadian families,
commuters, soccer moms and small businesses.
And worse yet, we know now that the Carbon Tax
will be higher in the future. So,
will the Prime Minister tell us what is the
full and final price for the Liberal Carbon Tax?
The Honourable Prime Minister.
Again, Mr. Speaker if you'll notice,
you'll see that the Conservatives do not want to
address the question of what their alternative is,
how they are going to fight climate change.
We've been very clear.
We're going to put a price on pollution.
We're accelerating the phase-out of traditional coal power.
We're making historic investments in cleaner infrastructure.
We're adopting regulations to cut methane emissions.
We are moving forward in a way that is going to
support families and protect them for the future.
Where the Conservatives have no plan at all, Mr. Speaker.
And that's unacceptable.
Order, order. All members know that
each side will have another chance to
take part in this question and answer
during Question Period, this- this- this process of debate.
So I'd ask colleagues to try to be patient and wait
for their turn.
The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
Mr. Speaker, it's the Liberal government that has
put a price of zero for the largest emitters in Canada.
They have granted a huge exemption
to large emitters that can afford to hire lobbyists to get a special deal.
Hard-working Canadian families, commuters
have to bear the full brunt of this Liberal Carbon Tax.
And now we find out that the Carbon Tax will have to be
even higher in the future.
So if the Prime Minister claims
that he doesn't mind getting questions,
will he answer this simple question:
What is the full and final cost of his Carbon Tax?
Prime Minister.
Mr. Speaker, unlike the Conservatives, we believe that emissions
need to go down and that we need to continue
creating good middle-class jobs for Canadians.
So what the Conservatives are saying
is actually factually wrong.
We have set a target for industry to reduce pollution.
If they fail to meet that target, they pay the price.
If they do better, for example through innovation,
they are rewarded.
Our plan will also give money directly to households
where the federal backstop applies.
The only mystery here is why the Conservatives
refuse to have a plan themselves.
Order.
The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
Mr. Speaker, they've granted a huge exemption.
That is from their own documents.
And when a company goes over that target,
they don't pay a tax. They can purchase offsets.
So they have come up with a scheme that
allows the country's largest emitters
to avoid paying the Carbon Tax.
But that special deal is not available to hard-working Canadian families,
commuters, suburban moms or small and medium-sized businesses
who have to pay the full brunt.
Now we know what the costs are going to be today.
What will the full and final costs be
for the Carbon Tax in the future?
The Honourable Prime Minister.
Mr. Speaker, there are two reasons why the Conservatives
are so worked up about our plan.
First of all, they have no plan that they can talk about.
And secondly, in provinces where the federal backstop applies,
Canadian households will be receiving more
from the climate action incentive than the cost of pricing pollution.
That means that the ones who will pay
are the companies who pollute the most.
Conservatives, like Stephen Harper and Doug Ford, and this current leader,
are so ideologically against any environmental protection.
They want to take that money away from Canadians.
While Conservatives want to make pollution free again, we are putting it—
