“The fastest way to lower diesel prices is to cut taxes. We should remove the sales tax, the clean fuel standard, and the industrial carbon tax on diesel.”
“Madam Speaker, there is a much simpler answer to that, and that is to reduce the taxes on diesel. As the Conservatives have suggested, eliminate the GST on diesel, eliminate the clean fuel standard that is costing money, even according to the PBO and Environment Canada, and eliminate the industrial carbon tax. That would be the fastest thing to help reduce the price of diesel.”
