“Canadians pay 25 cents a litre more for diesel than other countries because of government taxes and laws. Grocery prices are still too high. I want the government to vote for our motion to remove all taxes on diesel.”

“Mr. Speaker, if only screaming, hollering and the minister’s finger in the air could lower grocery prices by Thanksgiving, everyone would be eating for free, but in reality, they are paying more than ever. In fact, today, Canadians are paying 25¢ a litre more for diesel than the U.S. and global averages because of Liberal taxes, a weak Liberal dollar and Liberal laws that prevent us from refining diesel for every Canadian. Will they vote today for our motion to get rid of all the taxes on diesel so that we can save Canadians money and bring home our jobs?”

“A three-cent drop in fuel prices is not enough when diesel costs have doubled. High fuel prices make food and basic goods cost more because trucks deliver everything. I want the Liberals to vote for our plan today to lower costs and save people money.”

“Mr. Speaker, that is good news? Three cents a litre is the good news he announces after prices are up 100% and have risen to the highest place anywhere in the world outside of the Prime Minister’s beloved Europe. It is not good news to have three cents off. We need to bring diesel prices down so that we can lower the cost of food, appliances and basic essentials. Everything that we have comes in a truck. Conservatives have a plan to lower the cost and repatriate the production. The Liberals can vote on it today. Will they vote to save Canadians money?”

“This bill does not do enough. I want the government to vote for our plan instead. We want to take all taxes off fuel until at least July 2027 and cancel other fuel taxes forever. Our plan cuts diesel prices by at least 20 cents a litre and helps Canada make and use its own energy.”

“Mr. Speaker, we want to vote to get all taxes off fuel until at least July 1, 2027, and get rid of the worst Liberal taxes on fuel forever. That would be the way to vote for farmers, for truckers and for Canadians. We have a motion before the House of Commons today to reduce the price of diesel by at least 20¢ a litre, bring production back to Canada, supply our markets with our own energy and have a strategic reserve. Will the Prime Minister vote to save Canadians money and be masters in our own house here in Canada?”
