“I want the member to answer my question. Does she agree that we should stop collecting this fuel tax forever, instead of bringing it back later?”
“Mr. Speaker, I asked a question to our colleague earlier today and I will ask it again. I am just wondering if the member opposite feels that it is better to continue to not take tax off to give relief to Canadians, versus bringing back a tax to offset the cost, which is taking from one pocket and putting it into another pocket for Canadians. Would it not be better to just not take the tax and extend this fuel excise tax holiday forever?”
