“I support this bill because people need help with fuel costs right now. It gives quick, temporary relief, while we also work on separate, long-term plans.”
“Mr. Speaker, we believe in building an economy that is strong, that helps people grow and that helps people be independent in their own ways, even when they need support, as we saw during COVID, for example. What we are facing right now is unprecedented, so we need to provide support immediately. This is an immediate support that would help people get going to make ends meet. In terms of long-term efforts, we will be doing those as well. They are two different things, and we need to be very focused on both of them.”
