“Lowering the tax on gas helps people in my riding afford to drive to work and take their kids to sports. Can the member say more about how this helps people save money?”
“Madam Speaker, just listening to the member, I think vividly of my riding. As people go to the gas pump, for the average resident and consumer in Mississauga East—Cooksville, that means a reduction in the price of gas they are paying. They need gas to get to work. They need it to take their kids to sports. They need it for everything they do. It is so important to have these affordability measures. The member has mentioned many other measures. He has talked about the school nutrition program, about how we are also helping with senior supports and about the dental program. When it comes to gas, this is something that affects everybody every single day. Can the member elaborate on that?”
