Mr. Speaker, given that the first four minutes of my speech dealt with fuel prices, I would say of course, which is why we are removing the excise tax. The excise tax has been in place since the 1990s, and we are taking the proactive step based on the current worldwide oil prices to cut that. The excise tax is 10¢ per litre for regular people buying standard gasoline. This will no longer be the case from next week until Labour Day. Of course we are sensitive to the issue. What I was talking about was all of the different things in the Conservative motion that were not things that should be done.
In the House of Commons on April 14th, 2026. See this statement in context.
