Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“Our fuel tax cut has directly helped Canadians. The premier of Manitoba did the same thing. I think the Bloc is just looking for an excuse to vote against this bill, and I want the member to answer to that.”
“Mr. Speaker, I respect the economic background the member brings to the House, but I think of economists, and I think we can get all sorts of differing opinions. At the end of the day, and let us be very clear, the excise tax break that was implemented by the government has directly benefited the consumers of Canada. There is absolutely no doubt about that. Also, Wab Kinew did this very same thing following a provincial election. It seems to me that the Bloc members are trying to find an excuse as to why they might vote against the legislation to justify their actions. I wonder if the member could provide comments on that.”
