“Gas is too expensive because of government taxes. I want the Prime Minister to cut the gas tax for the whole year.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister of illusions delivers more of the same, including more costs and more carbon taxes, because he is just another Liberal. Last week in Oshawa, gas hit 189.9¢. Before these Liberal illusionists start blaming global factors yet again, let us be clear that, under the Conservatives 12 years ago, when world oil prices were the same, gas in Oshawa was almost 50¢ cheaper. This is a Liberal legacy. When will the Prime Minister stop delivering illusions and instead adopt our plan to reduce all the gas tax for the entire year?”

“High gas prices are caused by the carbon tax and our weak economy, not global oil prices. I want the government to support Canadian oil and gas to lower costs.”

“Mr. Speaker, the member for Whitby can call me delusional, but he is clearly not living in the real world. If global oil prices were the same 12 years ago, and Canadians were paying 45¢ less, then they clearly do not explain today’s sky-high gas prices. Our gas prices are a made-in-Canada problem, driven by the Liberals’ newly named carbon tax and a weak dollar caused by a weak economy. Will the Liberals take our common-sense plan, unblock our oil and gas production and make Canada affordable and strong at home?”
