Madam Speaker, the final petition is signed by a large number of residents of my constituency of Burnaby-Kingsway. It notes that gasoline prices have increased dramatically in recent days and that two committees of Parliament have recommended federal gas tax increases which should be far lower than those which have currently been proposed.
The petitioners therefore request that Parliament not proceed with the a federal excise tax on gasoline and strongly consider reallocating its current revenues to rehabilitate Canada's crumbling national highway infrastructure.
