“Mr. Speaker, the member for Whitby can call me delusional, but he is clearly not living in the real world. If global oil prices were the same 12 years ago, and Canadians were paying 45¢ less, then they clearly do not explain today’s sky-high gas prices. Our gas prices are a made-in-Canada problem, driven by the Liberals’ newly named carbon tax and a weak dollar caused by a weak economy. Will the Liberals take our common-sense plan, unblock our oil and gas production and make Canada affordable and strong at home?”
