Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the community of Taber in my riding for being named a finalist in this year's Kraft Hockeyville competition and for being selected as Alberta's provincial winner, earning $50,000 for arena upgrades, along with a chance to compete for the $250,000 grand prize and the opportunity to host an NHL pre-season game.

Okay. Thank you.
I have a few seconds. Do you have any data related to how the industrial carbon tax trickles down through the economy?
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
On a point of clarification, what is the procedure when the bells ring?
