The reason I ask is that, a couple of weeks ago at church, a senior slid over behind me, tapped me on the shoulder and thanked me for the way that I voted on the carbon tax on home heating oil. She also told me that she was at Sobeys grocery store that week, picking up a few items. When she got to the lineup for the checkout, she said she added up in her head what those items were going to cost and had to walk away and leave them in the cart. She left the store and went home; she could not afford to buy those groceries or buy those items.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8056485\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the minister explain how this bill will help that person be able to afford to buy groceries?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8056484\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j\u2019aimerais inviter le <a data-HoCid=\"271243\" href=\"/politicians/francois-philippe-champagne/\" title=\"Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne\">ministre</a> \u00e0 expliquer encore une fois pourquoi il est important d\u2019adopter ce projet de loi. Si je fais cette demande, c\u2019est parce qu\u2019il y a quelques semaines, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9glise, une personne \u00e2g\u00e9e s\u2019est gliss\u00e9e derri\u00e8re moi, m\u2019a tap\u00e9 sur l\u2019\u00e9paule et m\u2019a remerci\u00e9 pour la fa\u00e7on dont j\u2019avais vot\u00e9 en ce qui concerne la taxe carbone sur le mazout domestique. Elle m\u2019a dit qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait all\u00e9e au magasin Sobeys quelques jours auparavant pour acheter plusieurs choses, mais qu\u2019une fois \u00e0 la caisse, elle avait rapidement calcul\u00e9 ce que cela allait lui co\u00fbter, et qu\u2019elle avait finalement d\u00fb renoncer et partir en laissant tous ses articles dans le chariot. Elle est donc rentr\u00e9e chez elle parce qu'elle n'avait pas les moyens d'acheter les articles et les provisions en question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8056485\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le ministre peut-il expliquer comment ce projet de loi aidera cette personne \u00e0 faire son \u00e9picerie?</p>"
