Mr. Speaker, when it comes to taking action for the sake of taking action, I think the member for Québec could use a reality check.
The government cut the GST by 2%. It implemented a measure to ensure fairness at the pumps and gave the Competition Bureau more power.
What are the members opposite advocating? A carbon tax that would cost Canadian taxpayers $21 billion. Twenty-one billion dollars. That is not just a gas tax, it is a tax on everything.
I think my esteemed colleagues could really use a reality check.
