Mr. Speaker, the price of gas reached a record high in Quebec City today. Gas now costs $1.49 a litre. That is 18¢ more than this time last year. When the Conservatives came to power in 2006, gas cost $1.02 a litre in Quebec City.
Canadians are sick of getting gouged at the pump. Why do the Conservatives continue to support and subsidize big oil, while refusing to create an ombudsman position, which would help ensure that consumers pay a fair price?
