Mr. Speaker, the government's carbon tax would mean a massive price increase to home heating oil compared to a year ago.
To quote the Liberal Premier of Newfoundland:
Users of furnace oil in the Province tend to be older, live in rural areas and have lower incomes, lower than the provincial average. An increase in heating costs of 60 percent in one year already imposes considerable economic hardship and stress on these residents.
Will the government cancel its planned tax increases on gas, home heating and groceries today?
