Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is the most expensive in Canadian history. A father in Newmarket, who is an engineer, said to me that they cannot cover the living costs. He can only pay for the mortgage, utilities and taxes. Food, transportation and insurance are out of pocket.
While Canadians struggle, the Liberals keep a punishing fuel tax that adds up to 17¢ more per litre at the pumps, hiking the costs of parents driving to work, of the farmers and of the truckers who bring the food to our shelves.
Why is the Prime Minister clinging to this fuel tax and doubling down on reckless inflationary spending?
