Mr. Speaker, I just hosted four town halls in my riding on the cost of living and affordability, and I brought this very idea that the Conservatives are proposing to the people at those town halls. Nearly unanimously, people there wanted the taxes removed temporarily to provide relief. However, it was also unanimous that the people at those town halls wanted the big oil and gas companies, which are posting record profits, to pick up the tab. Attendees agreed that the relief needs to happen, but it should not be at the expense of investments in roads, infrastructure and health.
When will the Conservative and Liberal coalition for corporate welfare end? What is the threshold on corporate profits for big oil and gas before the Conservatives and Liberals will ask them to pay a little bit more when they win so they can take the pressure off everyday Canadians and pay their fair share for once?
