Mr. Speaker, the prime minister has
tried to deny the existence of continued
hidden Liberal taxes on groceries. But
Canada's leading food price expert, the
food professor, Svensh Lavois, has said
the exact opposite. He says, and I
quote, "The industrial carbon tax, the
worst part is still there." He was
referring to the fact that farmers pay
the tax on the steel that goes into
their their farm equipment, combines,
tractors, and bins, and on their
fertilizer. Is the prime minister really
going to expect Canadians who can't pay
their grocery bills to believe that the
cost of the carbon tax on our farmers
does not get passed on at the grocery shelf?
shelf? >> No.
>> No.
M uh Mr. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, uh
I'm going to quote I'm going to quote
independent research, Mr. Speaker of the
Canadian Climate Institute, which finds
that the impact of the industrial carbon
tax, now wait for it, wait for it, the
net impact of the industrial carbon tax
on food prices, it is on average around 0%.
0%.
Speaker, the prime minister expects us
to believe governmentf funded so-called
experts paid to push his agenda instead
of believing in the obvious fact that
when you tax the things that go into
making food, you tax all who buy food.
This is a prime minister who says he's a
great expert, but he told CTV Nova
Scotia that Canadians don't use steel anymore.
anymore.
>> Does he not acknowledge? Does he not
know that there is steel in farm
tractors, farm combines, farm bins, and
other farm equipment? And does he not
think for God's sakes that those costs
get passed on to consumers?
>> Thank you. Uh thank you very much, Mr.
Speaker. The the the folks are feisty
over there today. What I will say is
we've been hearing all week, all month,
since the beginning of this session
about these imaginary taxes. these
imaginary taxes in the brain of the
leader of the opposition but that no one
else has seemed to seem to manage. What
I will tell him is that there will be a
budget. There will be some numbers and
some tables that he can read there where
he will not find taxes on food. There is
no tax on food. There will never be a
tax on food. Well, first we're all
disappointed to to learn that Liberals
think that Canadians who see grocery
prices rising at records rates are just
imagining things, Mr. Speaker. And
further further disappointed to see that
this prime minister cannot stand in his
place and address real questions about
the cost of groceries for Canadians.
It's not just the industrial carbon tax,
Mr. Speaker. It is also the government's
fuel standard which according to their
own department is going to increase the
cost of fuel by 17 cents on the farmers
and the truckers who bring us our food.
Does he really expect consumers to
believe that won't
>> It's the same thing with the auto
sector. He promised that he would
negotiate a win. He promised to get a
rapid deal. Still no win. Still no deal.
Elbows gone missing and so are the jobs.
>> Mr. Speaker, there's no there's no I in
team, but apparently there's an I in
conservative team in conservative.
There's a team on these benches.
>> This government is in a position with
the best accord with the Americans. We
have the lowest tariff on the auto sector.
>> Yeah. the hon the right honorable prime
>> Mr. Speaker,
>> Mr. Speaker, there's no I in team, but
there is an I in conservative. There is
a team and there is a team in Liberal
that can answer these questions. And
this is what the Liberal team has
accomplished. We have the best deal with
the Americans of any country. We have
the lowest tariff on our automobiles and
trucks of any country. But we are not
satisfied. That is why we are
negotiating a new accord on steel, on
aluminum, on energy and on auto.
>> Here, [cheering]
>> honorable leader of the opposition.
Mr. [applause] >> Speaker,
>> Speaker,
the question was about jobs and he he
responds with a spelling bee. Mr.
Speaker, [laughter]
this is the guy who's supposed to
negotiate a win for us. A guy who said
he'd have a deal by July 21st. He's the
guy who said he's had his elbows up and
since that time his elbows have gone
missing. Mr. Speaker, the Canadian
people need those jobs. He promised he
would protect those jobs. Will he stand
up today, look the auto workers in
Ontario and Quebec in the eye and tell
them why he abandoned them and sold them out?
