“Canadians cannot afford food, heat, or housing, and things have gotten worse under the Prime Minister. I want him to do his job and take all taxes off gas and diesel to save people money.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is all well and good to watch the results south of the border, but we have real problems as well here in Canada, real problems in the real lives of real people who cannot afford eat, heat, or house themselves, real problems that have gotten much worse since the Prime Minister took office. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister distracts with grand theatrical gestures, so my question is, will he actually stand up and do his job in the House, in our country, to save Canadians money by taking all taxes off gas and diesel so Canadians can afford to eat, heat, and house themselves?”

“The Prime Minister adds 20 cents a litre to gas prices, and that money helps American energy companies. This hurts single mothers, seniors, and small businesses. I want the Prime Minister to remove his gas taxes so Canadians can afford to eat.”

“Mr. Speaker, if the Prime Minister actually believed that, he would stand up and say it himself. The question was about the 20¢ a litre he adds to the price of gas, including with a tax that takes money out of the pockets of hard-working Canadians to subsidize American biodiesel and biogas firms. In the middle of a trade dispute that the Prime Minister has been unable to solve here at home, he drives up the costs for single moms, seniors and small business people to subsidize the Americans. Enough is enough. There are real problems here at home. Will the Prime Minister take his taxes off gas so Canadians can afford to eat?”
