Mr. Speaker, I would like thank my colleague. I quite like him and am lucky enough to play hockey with him.
We were talking about half-measures just now. What the Liberal Party is proposing is a measure that will last four months, while what we are talking about would cover all of 2026. We cannot offer a half-measure for a few months and then reinstate the taxes.
They are talking about 10¢ per litre, whereas our proposal is for 25¢ per litre. That is a significant difference. As we know, right now, the residents of my riding, those in my colleague's riding, and all of my colleagues' constituents are being fleeced. One way to help them would be to eliminate all taxes for the entire year of 2026 to demonstrate a genuine effort by the Canadian government to address their situation.
