“High diesel prices are a world problem, not just a Canadian one. Our government has already paused the fuel tax and cut the carbon tax to help Canadians and farmers. We will keep working hard for our farmers.”
“Mr. Speaker, everybody is familiar with the story of the Strait of Hormuz and what it is doing to the world, including global market prices on diesel. This is not just a Canadian problem. It is a world problem. We suspended the excise tax. We also cut the carbon tax when we were first elected, a promise we made to Canadians across this country and to farmers. We will continue working hard for farmers as we go forward.”
