Mr. Speaker, what is not a market condition is the government's promises. It promised to stop the GST on gasoline after 85ยข, another broken promise while standing down for Canadians.
It is not just the gas issue that is affecting Canadians. Now the CRTC is piling on. It has announced that it will increase the price of pay phones by 100% when using cash and by 300% when using cards.
Why is it that every time the minister says that he is pro-consumer, Canadians must open up their wallets? Why does he not actually do something to lower prices for consumers for a change?
