Mr. Speaker, we should recognize that when the NDP government was in power in Ontario it raised the Ontario excise tax on fuel twice, taking it from 10.9 cents to 14.3 cents. As well, it increased the provincial excise tax on gasoline twice, taking it from 11.3 cents to 14.7 cents. I do not think we need to take any lessons from the NDP on excise taxes on fuel.
In the House of Commons on February 22nd, 2000. See this statement in context.
