Replying to Élisabeth Brière (Liberal)
“Madam Speaker, no one can predict what the price of gas will be one month, three months or six months from now. When the conflict in Iran ends, the expectation is that gas prices will go down. Why does my colleague not want to help Canadians now, when they really need it, instead of proposing a longer-term measure that will cost taxpayers a lot of money?”

Madam Speaker, The question · 19 wordscan my colleague predict when the conflict in Iran will end? Can she do that? The answer is no. Positioning · 54 wordsWhat the Liberals are telling us is that they will wait and see what happens later. For months and months, they are going to keep taking money out of the pockets of Canadians, and then maybe, when the price of gas and diesel comes down enough, they will decide to do something about it.Positioning Claims · 42 wordsWe Conservatives are calling for immediate action by maintaining the suspension of the excise tax and eliminating the industrial carbon tax, the clean fuel tax and the GST. These are measures that can be implemented immediately to save Canadians money right away. Positioning · 18 wordsThis is not about predicting the future; it is about the immediate reality that Canadians are actually facing.Positioning
