Mr. Speaker, anybody going to the gas station right now knows that the prices are simply out of control.
Today, a litre of gas in Ontario is $1.70, and in B.C. it is over $2. We do not just pay for fuel at the pumps; we pay an excise tax of 10¢, a fuel standard tax of 7¢, going to 17¢, and we pay GST on all of that. All of those are just federal taxes, adding up to 25¢ on every litre. Liberal taxes have turned a bad situation into a tax grab for the government.
Will the Liberals adopt the Conservative plan and suspend all of those gas taxes today?
