Mr. Speaker, a unilateral decision is called for because the federal government imposed these taxes unilaterally. The federal government can choose to keep these taxes or get rid of them. The member is wondering how the government will make up for the lost revenue. The answer is that the government is bringing in more revenue because oil companies' profits are going up in step with rising prices globally.
The question is, will the government choose to spend that revenue or leave it in consumers' pockets? Conservatives want to put it in Canadian consumers' pockets.
