“This bill brings back the fuel tax in the spring, which is when gas prices are highest in my riding. I want to know if that timing will really help Canadians.”
“Mr. Speaker, if we look at the timing of things, I do not know about the riding in B.C. but I know that in my riding in Yellowhead, quite often gas prices are at their absolute lowest in January. They then start rising again in the spring. Every time it hits me. That is when the prices actually get to their highest. Do you think that the timing of their removal and then the putting of them back on is actually going to help Canadians going forward?”
