"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5449284\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, one of the things my Alberta colleague also talked about in his intervention was the fact that 200 pages of this budget deal with a carbon tax, a carbon tax on which we have not had any answers from the Liberal government in terms of what the costs will be. For example, we had the <a data-HoCid=\"214302\" href=\"/politicians/lawrence-macaulay/\" title=\"Lawrence MacAulay\">Minister of Agriculture</a> at committee on Monday, and I asked him several times if he could tell us what the costs of the carbon tax would be for the average farm or agribusiness. He refused to answer that question. In fact, he said many times that farmers are appreciative of the carbon tax and that it is what they voted for. I have letters from literally dozens of farmers that say it is exactly what they did not vote for.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5449285\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can my colleague tell me what he feels the impact of a carbon tax will be on the average Canadian family?</p>",

Il a refus\u00e9 de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question. En fait, il a dit plusieurs fois que les agriculteurs appr\u00e9cient la taxe sur le carbone et que c'est ce pour quoi ils ont vot\u00e9. J'ai re\u00e7u des lettres de dizaines d'agriculteurs qui disent que c'est exactement ce pour quoi ils n'ont pas vot\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5449285\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mon coll\u00e8gue peut-il me dire quel sera, selon lui, l'impact d'une taxe sur le carbone sur la famille canadienne moyenne? </p>"
