Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“The Conservatives claim cutting fuel taxes was their idea, but the Manitoba premier did it years ago. Still, I am glad the Conservatives will vote for this bill. It will help Canadians afford what they need.”
“Mr. Speaker, I find it somewhat humorous that the Conservatives try to say that this is their idea. They are jumping up and down, trying to claim that it is their idea. I made reference earlier to Wab Kinew, the Premier of Manitoba, who did it a couple of years ago. I guess he might be happy to say that it was his idea and that the Conservatives stole his idea. The bottom line is that I am grateful the Conservatives have decided to vote in favour of this legislation. It is an affordability measure that would help Canadians. I think we can agree on that much, or at least I would hope so.”
