Luc Berthold Conservative
“The government's gas tax cut does not go far enough. We want to cut all gas taxes for the entire year, cut taxes on building homes, and remove the sales tax on Canadian-made cars. When will the government adopt our plan to help Canadians save money?”
“Mr. Speaker, is it worth reminding the Minister of Finance that lowering the gas tax was the Conservatives’ idea? It is easy to table that today, but for families, every dollar counts. We were asking to get rid of all gas taxes for the entire year, not just one. What we are going to get this afternoon is a timetable. Our economic plan includes concrete measures such as reducing taxes on housing construction, eliminating the GST on vehicles manufactured in Canada, and eliminating all taxes on gasoline. When will the Liberal government adopt the Conservative plan so that all Quebeckers and all Canadians can save money?”
