François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“We paused the federal fuel tax to help Canadians with high energy costs this summer. I want the Conservatives to vote for this bill to make that happen.”
“Mr. Speaker, the executive director of the International Energy Agency has said that we are currently facing the largest energy crisis in history. That is why we took action. We did not wait. In other words, we suspended the federal fuel tax. That is because we are acutely aware that we need to give Canadians a helping hand as the summer season approaches. We will always be there to stand up for the interests of Canadians, and I invite my Conservative colleagues to vote in favour of Bill C-30, which will give Canadians a helping hand this summer.”
