Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative
“Gas is very expensive right now. Other countries have cut their gas taxes to help people. The government should remove the GST on gas to make it cheaper.”
“Mr. Speaker, countries around the world are working to help their citizens. As everyone knows, filling up the car with gas is really expensive these days. Everyone is talking about it everywhere. The holidays are coming up, and it costs a fortune to gas up. Australia, Spain and Ireland have realized this and have eliminated gas taxes. What is the government waiting for now to eliminate the GST? The GST applied to the cost of gas is on top of other taxes. Will the government eliminate it, at least temporarily, to give people some breathing room?”
