“Food, rent, and fuel prices keep going up under this government. Gas prices rose 28% in April alone. I want the government to vote today to remove all taxes on all fuel for the rest of the year to make life more affordable.”

“Mr. Speaker, we see another month gone and another disastrous report card on Liberal affordability measures. Food inflation is up, yet nobody on the Liberal benches can tell me their plan to increase food production. Rent is up, despite a fourth housing bureaucracy presented as a silver bullet. Now gas prices have surged 28% in April, the largest monthly increase ever recorded. Liberals promised relief, but instead, food, rent and fuel are further out of reach. Today the Liberals have an opportunity to bring down food and fuel prices by taking all the tax off all the fuel for the rest of the year. Will the costly Liberal Prime Minister and his get-along gang vote in favour today?”

“Canadians are not getting enough relief from high costs. The government should remove all taxes on all fuel for the rest of the year.”

“Mr. Speaker, in typical Liberal fashion, there was nothing about the fuel tax. The Liberals’ half measure on fuel tax is just three months away from expiring. Does the member know any Canadians who have felt real relief? I sure do not. In fact, the only people I see waving the “mission accomplished” flag are people like the minister who are Liberals. Everyone knows that it will take years to truly solve the Liberal inflation crisis. The least these tired, costly Liberals could do is give Canadians a real break on all their fuel taxes. Is the Liberal plan really to tell Canadians that their affordability crisis will be solved by the end of summer? Seriously? Why do they not take all the tax off all the fuel for the rest of the year and give Canadians some real relief today?”

“Windsor families pay about 30 cents more for a litre of gas than people in Detroit. I want the government to remove all federal gas taxes for one year to give families relief.”

“Mr. Speaker, Windsor families are tired of being failed by this Liberal government. They are paying about 30¢ more per litre of gasoline than people across the river in Detroit. This Liberal Prime Minister is the same as the previous one. He is very expensive and has nothing to show for his spending. All we get from him is more costs, more taxes, more debt and more on the national credit card. We Conservatives have a real plan. Canadian families are looking for relief. Let us provide it by removing all federal gas taxes for one year, with no more half measures. When will the Liberal government get it done?”
