Mr. Speaker, Canada has the fourth-largest oil reserves in the world. There is no reason why a country as rich in resources as ours should be so vulnerable to global oil crises.
After 11 years of Liberal government, however, the many anti-development laws in place are weakening our country. We could have followed Norway's example: Develop our resources intelligently, enrich our society and fund our public services, but not by taxing the people.
Would the Liberals at least have the decency to give Quebeckers and Canadians some relief by lifting the gas tax?
