Arnold Viersen Conservative
“The government did not answer my question about the high cost of living. Government spending has lowered the value of our dollar and made life unaffordable. I want the government to drop its clean fuel standard and remove all taxes on diesel fuel.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am thankful the member found the right answer to read tonight on the right topic, but he never addressed what I asked him, which is what he had to say to Steve about the realities of living life in Canada. The member is new here, but I want to bring him back to nearly a decade ago when the Canadian dollar was worth more than the American dollar. We could afford to buy groceries for our kids. We did not need a school program to feed our kids. The government continues to do things that lower the value of our money, and that is one of the major reasons that everything costs so much more. Pouring more money into the system only inflates costs. We have talked about this endlessly. We have called for all taxes to be removed from diesel fuel. Will the Liberals commit to removing their Liberal clean fuel standard?”
