Rachael Thomas Conservative
“High fuel costs hurt farmers and drive up grocery prices for everyone. The government made this worse. I want the government to vote for our plan tomorrow to lower fuel costs.”
“Mr. Speaker, farmers in my community are worried about the increasing cost of diesel. Now, many are spending thousands of dollars every single day just to keep their operations running. One farmer put it very plainly. He said that when fuel prices rise, so do grocery prices for every single Canadian. For 11 years, Liberal policies have driven up the cost of fuel and made life more expensive for Canadian families. Tomorrow, Conservatives will put forward a common-sense motion calling on the House to adopt our emergency fuel relief plan. The question is very simple. Will the government vote in favour of Canadians and vote in favour of saving them money?”
