Mr. Speaker, very shortly, I want to tell the hon. member that what we propose is contrary to what the Minister of Transport said on August 26, when he told all the newspapers and other media that nothing could be done, that the Liberal government could not do anything. Finally, what the Bloc proposes are short term solutions: let us give tax credits to forestry and agricultural businesses, to taxi and trucking companies.
A few minutes ago, the hon. member for Laval—Les Îles was telling us that in the end, those people can deduct their gas expenses. Of course, they can deduct expenses. The problem is that there is no income. That is why we say that the government must compensate and give revenue back to taxpayers. That kind of tax credits could allow businesses in the regions to increase their profit margins. That is my question to my colleague.
