Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Liberal Party has an opportunity to respect the fact that heating one's home in January and February in Canada is not a luxury, and it does not make those Canadians polluters. They are just trying to survive. This from a Prime Minister who burned more jet fuel in one month than 20 average Canadians burn in an entire year. Will the Prime Minister ground the jet, park the hypocrisy and axe the tax hikes?

Mr. Speaker, the government's carbon tax would mean a massive price increase to home heating oil compared to a year ago. To quote the Liberal Premier of Newfoundland: Users of furnace oil in the Province tend to be older, live in rural areas and have lower incomes, lower than the provincial average. An increase in heating costs of 60 percent in one year already imposes considerable economic hardship and stress on these residents. Will the government cancel its planned tax increases on gas, home heating and groceries today?
