Harper On Rising Energy Costs

“At a time when Canadians are concerned about affordability and energy prices are rising, we should do what we can to lower prices. This (diesel) tax reduction will benefit consumers who buy virtually anything that moves by truck, train, ship or plane. The impact will be broad, whether consumer goods, produce or groceries trucked to facilities like this one. Whether young families trying to put food on the table or seniors on fixed incomes, reducing the tax on diesel will help Canadians and help the economy.”
