Replying to Costas Menegakis (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, we just came back from two weeks in our constituencies, where we had the opportunity to meet with the people we represent. In my riding of Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill, I heard story after story of families and small businesses that are struggling. I wonder if the member could share with us what she heard in her riding at the other end of the country. I represent a riding in Ontario; she represents one in British Columbia. I wonder if she would share with us the types of things she was hearing. Perhaps it was different than what I was hearing in my riding.”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 77 wordsI heard the very same things in my riding. I also heard that, at the end of the day, Canadians are looking for common sense, not political theatre. The Liberals have created a system where rising gas prices benefit government revenues because every increase at the pump means more tax revenue flowing to Ottawa.1 Meanwhile, ordinary Canadians absorb the consequences as higher fuel costs ripple through the entire economy, making food, transportation and everyday life more expensive. Reasoning · 19 wordsThere is nothing stopping the government from delivering meaningful relief except its own unwillingness to give up the revenue. Positioning · 9 wordsCanadians deserve more than symbolic gestures and temporary announcements.PositioningPartly on point
