Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary is living in denial, but Canadians know the truth. It is the Liberals who have been in power for the last eight years. Liberal policies are driving up prices and Liberal spending is fuelling inflation, yet the Liberals still try to gaslight Canadians. When the price of energy shot up in Atlantic Canada this summer, the radical Minister of Environment claimed this was all the fault of the companies and not his carbon tax and clean fuel regulations. It is another example of Liberal gaslighting. Here is what the Minister of Environment's own clean fuel regulations state: “it is estimated that provinces in Atlantic Canada will be more negatively affected by the Regulations.”
It is clear from the comments of the unnamed Liberal MPs recently published on CBC that the government has been gaslighting its own caucus. The environment minister has known for years that his energy regulations would hammer Atlantic Canadians and he pushed them through anyhow.
It is time for the Liberals to fire their leader and reverse their policies of making life more expensive for everyone.
