Taxation
In a debate on taxation, the Conservatives criticized the Liberal government for high fuel prices and rising costs of living. The Liberals defended their record, pointing to a 10 cent per liter reduction in fuel prices and programs to help families with grocery and school food costs. Much of the exchange consisted of partisan talking points and finger-pointing rather than substantive discussion of tax policy.
“I want the Liberals to stop talking and do something real. I want them to end all gas taxes right away. Prices are too high right now. It wasn't like this under our Conservative government. The current government should do what we did.”
