Mr. Speaker, we recognize that Canadians are seeing higher prices at the pump.
The Conservative Party wants Canadians to think that this has something to do with the Canadian economy. However, the Conservatives seem to be ignoring the fact that global energy prices are high, in part because of the serious situation in Ukraine. It is highly likely that oil companies will not lower the price at the pump.
On this side of the House, we are focused on affordability. We encourage the Conservatives to join us and vote in favour of Bill C-8.
