Mr. Speaker, it was not that long ago that the leader of the official opposition was running on a campaign around axe the tax. He talked about how the sky was falling because of the carbon tax. What happened when the carbon tax was removed? Gas prices dropped for maybe a day or two then started increasing. What we have seen is gas prices skyrocketing. What is also skyrocketing is profits for big oil and gas.
Today, the Liberals adopted another Conservative policy. They removed the carbon tax. Now they have removed the fuel excise tax. If the big oil and gas companies continue to have skyrocketing profits and the price of fuel goes up despite the fact that they are removing this tax, will they finally implement an excess profit tax on big oil and gas?
