Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“The Conservatives oppose a project that will help Quebec. We will keep listening to farmers about high-speed rail and fuel costs. We already cut the fuel tax for farmers and extended that cut.”
“Mr. Speaker, it should come as no surprise that the Conservatives are doubling down on their opposition to a promising project that will benefit all Quebeckers. Of course we will continue to listen to the agricultural community when it comes to building high-speed rail. We will also continue to listen to the agricultural community when it comes to the cost of fuel. We have cut the tax and we have extended that cut in fuel prices for the farming community. We will continue to listen.”
