François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“The government paused the fuel tax to lower the cost of diesel. This helps farmers, shipping, and food prices. I am glad the Conservatives support our bill to do this.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are still enthusiastic about Bill C-38, which is a good thing, because in fact, farmers know that we stand with them. The government, under the Prime Minister, has suspended the fuel excise tax, which will reduce the tax on diesel. These are facts. This is not a parallel reality. This is going to help our farmers. This is going to help logistics across the country. This is going to reduce the pressure on food prices across the nation. I am happy to see the Conservatives so enthusiastic to support Bill C-38.”
