Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“The government's fuel rules will raise gas prices by up to 17 cents a litre. People are already struggling to afford food and pay their debts. I want the Prime Minister to admit that life is not affordable right now.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister’s own environment department’s report reveals that the impact of the fuel standard is seven cents this year, rising to 17¢ per litre by the end of the decade, so he should check his own documents, or he should listen to Justin, who told me in a letter on August 11, “I cannot afford to eat properly. I skip meals and rely on cereal for breakfast. I’m incredibly frugal, but my debts are still growing faster. I constantly stress and cry over my financials. The middle class is being eliminated.” Will the Prime Minister look Justin in the eye and tell him that affordability is the best it has been in a decade?”
