“One in three Canadians are skipping meals because food costs too much. I want the Prime Minister to end the 20-cent-per-litre taxes on gas and diesel to help people save money.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, one in three Canadians are skipping meals because groceries are too expensive. The number one job of the budget is to save Canadians money. Will this Prime Minister get rid of all of his 20¢-per-litre taxes on diesel and gasoline to help Canadians save money at the pump and at the grocery store? With one in three Canadians skipping meals because they cannot afford groceries under this Prime Minister, job one for the budget is to save Canadians money. Will he get rid of his 20¢-a-litre tax on gas, to save Canadians at the pump and at the grocery store?
