Pat Kelly Conservative
“The government should remove all federal taxes on fuel. It should also get rid of the rules it passed since 2015 that stop new projects from being built. These rules are holding Canadian industries back.”
“Mr. Speaker, if the member meant that we have called upon the federal government to eliminate all the federal taxes on fuel, he is correct that we have called upon it to do so. We are disappointed that the government has not done it. As for subsidies, we are the party of free enterprise, and if the government would simply eliminate all the regulations and laws it has passed since 2015 that prevent projects from being built, we would be much better off today. I spoke about a couple of specifics on that in my speech, but it is on the government and its red tape that is holding Canada and our industries back.”
