Mr. Speaker, I am presenting two petitions to the House today. The first petition has over 380 signatures on it.
The petitioners call upon the government to enact legislation to eliminate the goods and services tax charged on the federal excise tax on fuel and all other provincial and federal taxes in fuel costs and ensure that the charge on the GST be limited to only 85¢ a litre.
The second petition is signed by over 520 farmers and fishermen.
The petitioners call upon the government to enact legislation to eliminate the federal excise tax on diesel fuel and gasoline used in farming operations and commercial fisheries.
