I've got a question to follow up on what Mr. Trost was talking about.

I tabled a private member's bill to remove the federal excise tax from our fuels. The cost to the treasury is about $240 million a year. Would you rather see that happen and have that $240 million taken out of the input equation, or would you rather see that $240 million filtered through government programs?
