[Pierre Poilievre Vs Catherine McKenna On Carbon Tax Canada]

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Honorable Member for Carleton.

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the finance minister. Today, in the finance committee, government officials admitted that they have modelled the cost of the carbon tax to Canadian families.

There you go.

[Pierre Poilievre (Carleton, ON. CONSERVATIVE):]
But then when I asked if they would share those calculations with the committee and with the people who will have to pay those taxes, the official said he cannot do that at this time. What the government wants is for Canadians to write a blank cheque, wherein the amounts will be written after that cheque is in the hands of the government.

Why won’t the finance minister not end his carbon tax cover-up and tell us what this tax would cost Canadians?

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Honorable Minister of Environment.

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
Mr. Speaker, I think that the member opposite did not read the report that was released yesterday. Clear evidence that what – putting a price on pollution works, and it also we could do that while growing a clean economy.

That’s right.

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
We make decisions based on evidence.

But I’ve got a question for the member opposite. What would his party do to tackle climate change? Do they even believe it’s real, because they have no plan?

“Hear, hear!”

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Order! The honorable member for Carleton.

Mr. Speaker, it’s disappointing that the finance minister is still in hiding and cannot answer questions about his own budget, but we’ll find out if there is anyone over there who can answer this question.

Today – gas prices in Vancouver have reached a record $1.60.

Consumers are suffering. Families are paying more, and it is going to get a lot worse under this proposed Liberal carbon tax.

The government knows how much this tax would cost families.

Why won’t they tell Canadians how much it will cost the average family?

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Minister of Environment.

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
Mr. Speaker, I wish – I wish the member opposite would not mislead people from British Columbia. If he understood economics, he would understand why the price is higher for gas in B.C. It actually has to do with a supply and demand issue. It has to do with exchange rates.

We understand that polluting is not free.

There is a real cost on Canadians.

I wish he could tell all of the kids who are watching question period right now what he would do to ensure a more sustainable future for them.

“Hear, hear!”

Member for Carleton.

[Pierre Poilievre (Carleton, ON. CONSERVATIVE):]
Well, Mr. Speaker, it might be a lot more sustainable if they would let us, as Canadians, build a pipeline to bring our own petroleum to its market.

But – back to the matter at hand, there is no question that this carbon tax will raise the price of gasoline.

The minister’s own document says that it will go up by at least 11¢, and that’s if we believe his numbers. Liberals also know how much this tax will cost the average Canadian family, but nobody will answer over there.

Why will they not end this cover-up and tell us how much this tax will cost?

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Honorable Minister of Environment.

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
Mr. Speaker, I’m happy after question period to hand over our analysis that shows that carbon pricing works and you can do it while growing the economy.

Eighty percent of Canadians live in a province – Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec – where there is a price on pollution. Guess what?

Their economies were the fastest growing in the country.

[Unknown:]
“Hear, hear!”

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
Once again, I ask the member opposite, “What are you going to do?” Under 10 years of the Harper government, you did nothing –

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Order, I will remind the Honorable Minister of Environment to direct her comments to the Chair – when you are in here talking about the Speaker of course. The honorable member for Carleton.

[Pierre Poilievre (Carleton, ON. CONSERVATIVE):]
Mr. Speaker, the environment minister can’t answer the question about how much this tax will cost Canadians. The finance minister won’t answer the question about how much this will cost Canadians.

The Prime Minister was unable to answer the question.

So I am trying to figure out which of these ministers has the answer.

Why do we not just ask them all?

How much, how much, how much, how much will this carbon tax cost Canadians?

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
The Honorable Minister of Environment.

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
I have a question.

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Order!

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
What’s your climate plan? What’s your climate plan? What’s your climate plan? What’s your climate plan?

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Order! Order! Order! [shhhh] Order!

Sit down! Sit down! Sit down!

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Ordre! The honorable Member for Carleton.

[Pierre Poilievre (Carleton, ON. CONSERVATIVE):]
Well she should know, because she actually followed the Conservative targets on climate change.

[APPLAUSE]

We actually – we actually saw greenhouse gases go down at the same time as taxes went down under the previous Conservative government. We saved people money while protecting the economy.

(Yes!)

Now, will the government finally answer the question, how much will a Canadian family have to pay for this new Liberal carbon tax?

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
The Honorable Minister of Environment.

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
Mr. Speaker, I wish that the party opposite would understand the cost of climate change right now.

One of the hardest calls I ever had to to do was to a rancher in Alberta, whose whole ranch burned down because of forest fires. There are people that are suffering from floods across the country. The Arctic is literally thawing, and they think it’s a joke.

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
Order. I had no trouble hearing the question, but we also need to hear the answer. Order. I ask for [inaudible] and others – and others. Not to speak until it’s their turn to speak. Ya, the Honorable Minister of Environment has the floor, order!

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
Thank you Mr. Speaker, there is a real cost of climate change right now, and Canadians across the country are feeling it. And we have people who are feeling the impacts of forest fires, of floods, of droughts. The Arctic is literally melting, but they think it’s a joke. NO!

We’re taking serious action on climate change. We have a plan and we have a target, and we’re going to meet it.

The Member for Carleton.

Actually, they [Liberals] just released a document yesterday saying that they will not meet their plan. They said they will not meet their target. They will come about 90 million tonnes short of meeting their target, and that’s with their carbon tax.

She [Catherine McKenna] said she spoke to a rancher in Alberta.

Did she tell that rancher how much this carbon tax would cost him and his family?

[Geoff Regan – Speaker of the House of Commons):]
The Minister of Environment.

[Catherine McKenna Minister of Environment and Climate Change (LIBERAL):]
I do not know how I can make it more clear. Maybe the member opposite could go call the insurance companies. Because insurance companies tell me every day about the huge payouts that they are having to pay because of the cost of climate change.

Let me also talk about the opportunity, the $23 trillion dollar opportunity of clean growth, as Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, has called it of Clean Growth.

This Party [Conservative Party] doesn’t understand that we need to protect our environment and are growing our economy. We’re going to do both. They will do neither.
