Western Standard - “Stop pretending to be powerless” Poilievre confronts Carney over diesel prices

00:00:00.000 How totally out of touch. He blames the provinces for inflation under his

00:00:05.040 leadership. He highlights a bill that has been in place for a year and a half and

00:00:08.520 hasn't built a single project. There are, he didn't answer the question. There are

00:00:12.160 three reasons why Canadians are paying more for diesel in the world. One, the

00:00:15.760 Prime Minister has given us a weak dollar despite high oil prices. Two, by his very

00:00:20.700 mission in this House we don't have the refining capacity because his government

00:00:23.940 will not get out of the way and let Canadians build. And three, he continues

00:00:27.800 to tax fuel, with the GST, with the fuel standard tax, will the Prime Minister stop pretending

00:00:35.680 to be so powerless and get the prices down for Canadians?

00:00:42.680 Mr. Speaker, I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Leader of the Opposition

00:00:49.400 on his 20th anniversary of the House of Commons.

00:00:52.160 I've been here for a little more than a year.

00:00:53.860 passed the Build Canada Act for major projects, and we are putting in front of this House

00:00:58.840 the Build Canada Strong Act so that all projects in this country, one project, one review, one

00:01:05.980 year, we will build Canada Strong. They will have an opportunity to join us, and he will

00:01:10.980 have an opportunity to do something for the first time in two decades.
