Mr. Speaker, this week I spoke to Krystle. The rising cost of living is threatening her small business in Amherst. She has worked 28 of the last 30 days to make enough money to keep her business solvent.

She cannot understand why the government would not support two Conservative motions to reduce fuel prices. On which date will the government remove tax upon tax and get fuel prices and the cost of living under control?

What date have you been given for when these heavy icebreakers will be added to our Coast Guard fleet?

An Order Paper answer delivered by the government stated that the cost of the Coast Guard Arctic and offshore patrol ships would be $750 million per ship. Your colleague, the Minister of Public Services and Procurement said—

Mr. Chair, I will reassert that having a tax on boats that cost over $200,000, and being able to use that to defray expenses for those who need it the most, is a decision that we have made as a government to reduce income inequality.

Mr. Chair, Bill C-251 poses some challenges. It calls on actions that the government would have to take. It would cost $30 million—
