Mr. Speaker, spring is finally here. The days are getting warmer, people's minds turn to their vacations, and we see the return of a phenomenon that is wholly without scientific basis: when the mercury rises, so does the price of gas. Nobody can discern a causal link between the two, but they inevitably rise together, peaking just before summer break.
In the face of such a mystery, some suspect the oil companies of scheming to raise the price of gas.
Will the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development order the Competition Bureau to investigate gas prices?
