Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his analysis and the list of improvements to the bill and for pointing out not only the redundancies in the bill but also its shortcomings. It is almost as though the legislation was brought forth to diffuse attention on the current scandal of corruption that has plagued the current government.
A couple of years ago my colleague had a situation that involved a constituent who travelled across the border to fill his car up with gasoline. This individual was attempting to make ends meet.
Will the bill help that unfortunate constituent who went to jail for not paying the extra taxes that had been put on our gasoline?
