Mr. Speaker, after eight long years of the Liberal-NDP government, seven million Canadians are now struggling to put food on their tables thanks to the carbon tax. When one taxes the farmer who grows the food and taxes the trucker who ships the food, one ultimately punishes the Canadian who buys the food. Now there are Canadians driving across the U.S. border to buy basic grocery essentials. The Prime Minister is not worth the cost.
\nWill the Prime Minister do the honourable thing, axe the carbon tax and bring home affordable groceries for all Canadians?

Quand on taxe l'agriculteur qui cultive la nourriture et le camionneur qui la transporte, on p\u00e9nalise au final le Canadien qui ach\u00e8te la nourriture. Aujourd'hui, certains Canadiens traversent la fronti\u00e8re am\u00e9ricaine pour acheter des produits de premi\u00e8re n\u00e9cessit\u00e9. Le premier ministre n'en vaut pas le co\u00fbt.
\nLe premier ministre fera-t-il amende honorable en supprimant la taxe sur le carbone afin de permettre \u00e0 tous les Canadiens de faire l'\u00e9picerie \u00e0 un prix abordable?
