“Fuel costs more in Canada than in the United States mostly because of provincial taxes. Our plan to build new refineries will also help lower diesel prices.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would draw the attention of the Leader of the Opposition and this whole House to the fact that there are things in Canada called provinces. The provinces put taxes on diesel. The provinces put taxes on gasoline. The biggest difference between Canada and the United States is the provincial taxes on those carbons. Also, I will draw attention to the building Canada strong act, which will allow this country to build new refineries and keep diesel prices lower.”
