I'd like to add my voice to this as well.
To Mr. Turnbull about the $2.4 billion, that's a projected number. There's a whole bunch of variables that are at play, and I would like to see the government have to own that number for themselves. Coming in the fall, they should say, “Okay, here's what we did, and here's the result that it had.” Perhaps people travel less than anticipated. That would have less of a savings than the $2.4 billion. Perhaps the fuel price goes to a different place so that the estimated price is not the same.
The other thing Mr. Turnbull brought up when we were debating the extension of the tax relief past September 8, and which I would point out is in our amendment in (b), is that it would “include the assessment of the costs and benefits of extending the application” past that. I know that the government has talked about possibly doing that, and we would say that in this report we would be asking for—as they have done with the $2.4 billion in this—if they moved it forward, what kind of impact it would have. I think that's clear in this motion, and I hope the Liberals support it.
