Madam Speaker, I have a petition pursuant to Standing Order 36 to present from my constituents in the Kerrobert community and Luseland area. It was circulated prior to the budget.
It calls on the federal government to recognize that Canadians are paying approximately 52 per cent of the cost of a litre of gasoline at the pumps in the form of government taxes. The petitioners do not want to see an increase in taxes in the federal budget because of this high tax. I am happy to present this petition on behalf of my constituents.
