Rhonda Kirkland Conservative
“The government says Conservatives are just scaring people, but we are listening to them. I want my colleague to share examples of the hardships Canadians face, and how cutting the gas tax until Canada Day would help them.”
“Mr. Speaker, I found it interesting yesterday during question period that the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources accused me, and Conservatives generally, of scaring Canadians. I would argue, and did yesterday, that the truth is what we are actually doing is hearing Canadians. I would like to ask my colleague to give us a couple of examples of where he has heard from Canadians about the struggles they are going through and what extending a full relief of gas tax until next Canada Day could mean for them.”
