Mr. Speaker, it was obvious there were problems. The government could have been a bit more responsible, rather than adopting a measure on the very eve of the election.
Would it not have been more judicious to suspend or reduce the GST on heating oil in addition to using refundable tax credits for those using heating oil so that the measure directly impacted those facing problems with the increase in the cost of heating oil, and not everyone on the eve of the election? That seems logical.
