Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“The government should remove all taxes on gas. That would save people up to 30 cents a litre and save families 1,200 dollars. Will the government put this tax cut in the budget?”
“Mr. Speaker, the member had trouble following what is a very clear and direct path to make life affordable. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and the straight line is this. They get rid of all taxes on gas and immediately start saving people 20¢ a litre. They cancel the reinstallation of the excise tax and it goes up to almost 30¢ a litre. That will save a Canadian family $1,200. This is an immediate action the government can take to save money for Canadians. Will it do it in the budget?”
