Mr. Speaker, after nine years of an NDP-Liberal government, Canadians are having to cancel their summer vacations as the price of a simple road trip is now unaffordable. The government's inflationary deficits and high-tax agenda have driven up fuel costs nearly 50%, and now the Liberals are planning to quadruple the carbon tax and make everything even more expensive, but common-sense Conservatives are calling for the government to give Canadians a break. We are calling on the government to axe the carbon tax, the federal fuel tax and the GST on gas and diesel until Labour Day. That would save Ontario families $592 this summer and would allow for more people to be able to take a family trip. We already know that Canadians cannot afford the costly coalition and its carbon tax, and we know that only Conservatives will bring home lower prices for all Canadians by axing the tax for everyone, everywhere, for good.
