Anna Roberts Conservative
“Conservatives have tried three times to lower taxes on fuel, and the Liberals voted against it every time. Farmers and families need this help now. I want the Liberals to vote for our motion.”
“Madam Speaker, it is important to remember the record of the government on fuel taxes. On three separate occasions, Conservatives brought forward opposition day motions proposing relief for Canadians at the pumps, including reductions to the federal excise tax and other federal taxes on fuel. Each time, every member of the government voted against those measures. The record is clear: Conservatives have repeatedly proposed lowering the tax burden on fuel, and on three separate occasions, the Liberal government voted against it. I believe in my heart and soul that the farmers and families of this country need relief now, and we are asking the Liberals to support our motion.”
