Replying to Serge Cormier (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I remember very well that my colleague has visited me several times in my riding in the past. We are talking about lowering gasoline prices by 10¢ per litre and diesel prices by four cents per litre, not to mention getting rid of the carbon tax. My colleague has also talked about the many programs that our government has put in place since the beginning. Which program does he think is helping his constituents the most? Which one has the biggest impact on families and people in his region?”
