Madam Speaker, my colleague obviously has good intentions.
There might be a little problem with the approach, however. Would my colleague agree that a program should be created with the surplus to help workers whose livelihoods are at risk because of the rising cost of diesel and gas? I am talking about farmers, truckers, taxi drivers and everyone who is struggling to make ends meet right now. Does he think the surplus could go directly to the workers who need help?
If not, could he explain how he would ensure that removing the GST from diesel and gas would truly benefit consumers?
