“Our government understands the farming cycle. We cut the gas levy in April to help farmers during their crop season, and we are continuing to extend this tax relief to keep life affordable. The member should admit this.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is important to note, right at the beginning, because the member tried to give the impression that the government does not understand the crop season, as an example, that the Prime Minister was elected back in April 2025, and there was a gas levy given back on April 20 of last year. I think that fit quite well in terms of the farming cycle. The issue of affordability has been very important for the government, and this is the reason we continue to extend the tax levy. Does the member not at least recognize that fact?”
