Jacques Gourde Conservative
“High diesel prices will make food more expensive for Canadians. Canada has plenty of oil, so diesel should not cost this much. I want the government to vote for our plan to remove taxes on diesel until July 2027 and create a fuel reserve.”
“Mr. Speaker, after farmers, consumers will be the next to bear the brunt of rising food prices. We have the fourth-largest oil reserves in the world, so there is no reason Canadians should be paying so much more for diesel. The Liberals have placed us in a vulnerable position. Will they commit to adopting our Conservative plan to eliminate taxes on diesel until July 2027 and establish a strategic reserve to ensure a stable supply? Will the Liberals vote in favour of our motion?”
