“Gas prices are high. Pausing the fuel tax will lower prices by about 10 cents a litre until Labour Day. I want the Minister of Finance to explain how this and other steps are helping Canadians save money.”
“Mr. Speaker, in the face of rising fuel prices, which are being driven by global instability, Canadians expect and deserve timely, meaningful and tangible relief. That is exactly what the good people of the Bay of Quinte experienced recently when they went to fill up at the gas station. Suspending the fuel excise tax until Labour Day is expected to reduce Canada’s price at the pump by about 10¢ a litre. In advance of next week’s spring economic update, can the Minister of Finance let Canadians know how this and other measures are helping to put money back in the pockets of Canadians?”
