Mr. Speaker, Claims · 74 wordsgas prices across Canada remain higher than they need to be, not just because of the war in Iran but because of unnecessary federal taxes. The last time a barrel of oil cost $100 was in 2014 under a Conservative government, ¹and gas prices never reached their current levels. In Penticton and Oliver, gas prices are now two dollars a litre, with communities like Castlegar, Grand Forks, Osoyoos and Princeton over $1.90 a litre.²³ Promise · 44 wordsWe need to offer real relief for longer.Vague promise Our Conservative plan would scrap all federal gas taxes, the excise tax, GST and the fuel standard tax, for the rest of 2026. We would pay for this by ending Liberal waste, like their gun-grab program. Reasoning · 13 wordsUncertainty abroad does not mean Canada cannot be affordable and strong at home.
