Mr. Speaker, just on the eve of the election the former finance minister promised relief to Canadians from high heating costs.
The program was badly managed and resulted in some deceased and incarcerated Canadians getting cheques, but with an unseasonably cold winter and a crisis in the Gulf, will the current Minister of Finance tell us, is there a risk of predatory pricing?
Since his government refused to get rid of the GST, would it consider removing the GST on home heating fuel for this fiscal year?
