“Our government is working hard to make life more affordable. This bill helps by cutting the fuel tax by 10 cents a litre, and then by 5 cents a litre after January. I want my colleague to share his thoughts on this.”
“Mr. Speaker, I wonder if my colleague could provide his thoughts on what has been a very important issue, that of affordability, and on how the Prime Minister and the government as a whole have taken on the issue, wanting to be able to deliver on it in many different forms. This is a very important step, with Bill C-38 giving that 10¢-a-litre extension in terms of a break. Once we hit the end of January, it goes to 5¢ a litre. It is one part of a much bigger picture of the very important issue of affordability. Could the member provide his thoughts on that?”
