Randy Hoback Conservative
“Food is already too expensive, and energy and shipping costs will push grocery prices even higher. I want the government to drop federal taxes on diesel to help lower food costs.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Governor of the Bank of Canada projects that rising energy and shipping costs will drive up grocery prices this coming year. With food bank usage at record levels and household budgets already stretched, families cannot afford another increase at the checkout line. Will the Liberal government reverse its course and adopt our Conservative plan to scrap the federal taxes on diesel, which would help bring down the cost of food?”
