Taxation
A debate on taxation, with Conservatives criticizing rising costs and lack of affordability measures from the Liberal government, and Liberals defending their affordability measures and accusing Conservatives of voting against them. Mostly partisan sparring with little substantive policy discussion.
“The current gas tax break is temporary and expires in three months. I want you to extend it, because I want lower taxes and prices. I don't think your current plan will solve the whole problem.”
“I want the government to stop putting more costs on Canadians. This Prime Minister is just like the last one, wasting our money. Conservatives have a better plan. We should remove all federal gas taxes for a year.”
