Taxation

During Question Period on taxation, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said the Prime Minister is making fuel too expensive through taxes such as the carbon tax and the GST, and called on the government to remove all taxes on fuel for the year. Liberal minister François-Philippe Champagne replied that the government supports Canadians, noted the Conservatives did not back measures like the grocery and gas rebates, and said a new plan would be presented the following Tuesday.Written by AI from the debate.

Mr. Speaker, it is more of the same. I think the Leader of the Opposition should look at himself in the mirror. Every other day it is the same question, but one thing Canadians know is that we are always going to have their back. When it was time to present the grocery rebate, the Leader of the Opposition was nowhere to be seen. When it was time to give a gas tax rebate, he was nowhere to be seen. On this side of the House, we will always stand with Canadians, and on Tuesday we will present a plan to build Canada strong together. That is leadership.
