Mr. Speaker, consumers are being slammed by gas prices, which are expected to hit $1.40 a litre this summer and could reach $2.25 a litre by 2012.
High energy prices are especially hurting low income families, leaving little money for food and housing. Creative solutions are needed. That is why the Liberal Party has a plan to build a green economy, promote alternative energy sources and improve fuel efficiency.
Canadians are demanding action to help them cope with rising energy prices today and ensure that Canada is a leader in the green technology of the future.
Instead, what they have is a government that is like an exhaust pipe: all it puts out is a lot of hot air.
