Madam Speaker, I just want to tell my colleagues that repeating a falsehood does not make it true.
One reason the price of gas is skyrocketing today is refining margins. Big oil producers have boosted their refining margins significantly. Suggesting that the government should cut taxes to give big oil more room to manoeuvre when these greedy corporations are siphoning off what little money the Canadian middle class has is a little rich, in my opinion.
I do not know if my colleague is aware of what refining margins are for oil companies.
