“This bill to cut fuel taxes was our idea, not the government's. The Liberals spent years defending the carbon tax, but now they want to take credit for cutting taxes on fuel.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canadians should be happy that we have His Majesty’s loyal opposition to put forward good ideas that have been at times embraced by the government, such as the extension of the excise tax, or putting it on to begin with. I wish I had the Hansard record to count the number of times that the member defended the carbon tax as neutral for families and said that everyone was better off. He stands here and takes some sort of credit, like it was his idea. Give me a break.”
