Mr. Speaker, I think he did quite a few things in terms of lowering taxes in Alberta.
Let me read from the minister's 1995 budget. It said “Federal excise tax on gasoline will be increased to help reduce the deficit”. The deficit is gone but the tax is not.
It is not just low income Canadians who are worried about this fuel crisis and who are in the midst of it. All Canadians are worried about heating their homes this winter and putting gas in their vehicles.
Is it not time that the gas tax being lowered would be one promise that the government should keep?
