Replying to Pierre Poilievre (Conservative)

“Again, he is talking about projects that were approved long before he got here, Mr. Speaker. To protect us from President Trump’s threats, make Canada affordable and independent and save money, the Conservatives are calling for a diesel price relief plan that involves eliminating all diesel taxes until July 1, 2027, and having emergency pre-permitting and tax relief to accelerate investment in diesel refining and transportation. Will the Prime Minister take our plan to lower prices and make Canada more independent?”
