François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“We know high prices are hard on Canadians. We are building cheaper homes and helping families pay for food. Today I introduced a bill to keep pausing the fuel tax. I want the Conservatives to vote for it.”
“Mr. Speaker, everyone in this House understands that affordability is top of mind for Canadians. That is why we have acted on three levers. The first thing is that we are there to make sure that we build more affordable homes, because we understand that the first pillar of affordability is for people to find a safe and affordable place to live. The second thing is that we understand the price of food. That is why, with the Prime Minister, we introduced the Canada groceries and essentials benefit to help families across the country. Today, I introduced legislation to prolong the fuel tax suspension. I hope the Conservatives will do the right thing and support it.”
