That is why we want to send fuel, energy and arms, not the carbon tax, to Ukraine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8078354\" data-originallang=\"en\">The carbon tax and food insecurity are important in my riding. There are people lining up at food banks because the cost of food is so high, so I resent the member's saying that it is not important. Food insecurity is important. If he does not believe it, he should come to Cobourg and see the food bank.</p>",

Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous voulons envoyer \u00e0 l'Ukraine du carburant, de l'\u00e9nergie et des armes, et non la taxe sur le carbone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8078354\" data-originallang=\"en\">La taxe sur le carbone et l'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire sont importantes dans ma circonscription. Il y a des gens qui font la queue devant les banques alimentaires parce que le co\u00fbt des aliments est trop \u00e9lev\u00e9. Je m'indigne donc d'entendre le d\u00e9put\u00e9 dire que c'est sans importance. L'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire est grave. Si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne le croit pas, qu'il vienne \u00e0 Cobourg et qu'il se rende \u00e0 la banque alimentaire.</p>"
