Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
I do not know if he really took the time to read the motion, but the solutions we are proposing are perhaps not long-term solutions as he suggests. I still feel it is important that we discuss them.
However, in the short term, for all Canadians and those living in his riding, measures like temporarily suspending the GST on gas and diesel would benefit taxpayers in his riding.
We understand that it is a short-term measure, but if we want to give our constituents a break, I feel it is important that we do it.
