“Fewer people from Manitoba are driving to the United States. Gas prices in Minnesota are almost the same as here. People are not driving across the border just to buy gas.”
“Mr. Speaker, we know the number of visits from Manitoba to the United States has actually decreased. The member made reference to the people in his constituency who are travelling to the United States in order to gas up. A quick search finds that the price of gas in Minnesota is about $1.55 a litre. That is probably within two cents or three cents of what I paid over the weekend. Does the member really believe there is a flood of people going from his constituency and travelling to Minneapolis in order to get gas?”
