Helena Konanz Conservative
“Conservatives want to make life more affordable, but we vote against policies that make no sense. We want to cut gas taxes. In a large riding like mine, where it takes eight hours to drive across, people need cheaper gas.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have been pushing to make life more affordable. When we have packages of bills that come at us or policies that come at us that do not make sense, of course we are not going to accept every one. We need Canadians’ lives to be more affordable. We have been pushing for lower taxes on gasoline everywhere, but in a riding like mine, where it is a seven- to eight-hour drive from end to end, one can understand why Canadians or why the people in my riding need to have gas prices go down. That is what we have been pushing for since last year.”
