A debate where the Liberal government and Conservative opposition argued about how best to lower fuel prices for Canadians. The Conservatives proposed eliminating all fuel taxes for the rest of the year, while the Liberals pointed to their existing measures like the 28 cent per litre gas tax reduction. Members also discussed other affordability measures and clean fuel regulations. Much of the debate consisted of members talking past each other and scoring political points rather than substantively engaging with the core issue of high gas prices.
