“Gas and food cost too much because of Liberal taxes and a weaker Canadian dollar. I want the government to remove these taxes and support Canadian oil and gas to make life affordable.”
“Mr. Speaker, despite the illusions with the Liberal Prime Minister, it is more cost, more carbon taxes and more of the same. Liberals blame $100 per barrel of oil for high gas prices, but in 2014, oil was also $100, and gas was $1.38 a litre. Today, it is $1.83. That is 45¢ more for the same global price. What has changed? Liberal policy has changed. Higher taxes, carbon taxes and GST on top of the tax are driving up costs. A weaker dollar, down roughly 20% since 2014, means that Canadians pay more for fuel and food, because our economy is weaker under Liberal leadership. Canadians are paying the price for bad policy. We want all of the taxes removed for all of the year. It is time for Liberals to take our common-sense plan to remove them, unblock our oil and gas production, and make Canada affordable and strong at home.”
