Mr. Speaker, Claims · 27 wordsdiesel is the lifeblood of Canada’s agriculture and transportation industries, but today, with prices in Manitoba now reaching $2.40 a litre, Canada faces a diesel price emergency.¹ Reasoning · 29 wordsFarmers cannot farm without diesel. Truckers cannot move goods without diesel. Trains cannot haul commodities without diesel. When diesel costs more, producing food costs more and Canadians pay more. The ask · 36 wordsConservatives are calling on the government to eliminate all tax on diesel until at least Canada Day, remove the GST on fuel, permanently scrap the 19¢ per litre industrial carbon tax and secure our diesel supply.² Claims · 17 wordsSadly, Liberal policies add costs to the production of diesel today and discourage investments into refineries tomorrow. Positioning · 10 wordsCanadians cannot keep paying the price for these Liberal failures.Positioning The ask · 18 wordsThe Liberals must cut all taxes on diesel and give farmers, businesses and families the relief they deserve.
