Mr. Speaker, soaring energy prices are badly hurting Canadian truckers, agricultural producers and consumers. When they turn to their government for some action, for some help and even some understanding, what do they get? The industry minister says let the provinces do it. He passes the buck. The junior finance minister says not to blame his fuel taxes. The Prime Minister says there is nothing we can do.
Why is it that the U.S. energy secretary can find 17 things to do to help Americans, but the Prime Minister cannot think of one thing to help Canadians?
