Mr. Speaker, my colleague knows I have a lot of respect for him as well. However, on this side of the House, we are very well aware that the Liberals just put together a costly majority, not at the ballot box, but with cheap backroom tricks to get politicians of this House to betray their own voters and constituents.
Of course, there is nothing cheap or political about putting money back into the pockets of the very hard-working men and women of this country, who would find nothing political and cheap about getting the government to remove the GST on gas and diesel, adding eight cents a litre of savings, permanently removing the fuel energy standard, saving another seven cents a litre, and removing the industrial carbon tax that is poised to go up to $170 per tonne, which is completely unacceptable.
It is common sense. If we add inputs, we drive up costs and make things more expensive. If we get rid of those inputs, things get cheaper. I do not understand why the Liberal government cannot understand this very simple fact.
