Mr. Speaker, there is another completely made-up tax: the fuel tax.
Yesterday, the Liberals had the opportunity to lower the cost of food by getting rid of the fuel tax, but they chose to keep making food even more expensive. Families and couples where both partners have jobs are coming to food banks in Quebec to get food because they have to choose between putting food on the table, a roof over their heads and gas in their cars to get to work. It will cost Canadian families 17¢ more per litre every time they go to the pump.
Why is the Prime Minister maintaining the fuel tax and continuing to make food even more expensive?
