Today in the finance committee, government officials admitted that they have modelled the cost of the carbon tax to Canadian families. When I asked if they would share those calculations with the committee and with the people who will have to pay those taxes, the official said he cannot do that at this time. What the government wants is for Canadians to write a blank cheque, wherein the amounts will be written after that cheque is in the hands of the government. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5372798\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why will the <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">finance minister</a> not end his carbon tax cover-up and tell us what this tax would cost Canadians?</p>",
