Conservative on Canadian Fuel Affordability Act 2026-09-22

99 words · 4 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to William Stevenson (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, could my hon. colleague comment on whether he thinks that if we actually followed the Conservative plan and reduced all of the taxes it would actually benefit the citizens of Canada far more than the 25¢ a litre, so they could afford to get out, go to work and buy their groceries? Does the member think that would be better for the overall economy than this half-measure that the government is proposing?”
