Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Winnipeg North has contradicted himself a lot. I will remind him of the facts. His government's Department of Finance has said that payments made to Canadians in April would give back the federal fuel charge proceeds collected from April to June.
What does my colleague not understand about that? The tax, which was repaid in advance, no longer existed between April and June. I think that the Quebeckers listening to us today are not fooled. It was an election giveaway.
Let us look at how clever the Liberal Party was to send out cheques right before the election. Let us remember that, in August 2021, a cheque was sent out to seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Liberal Party is able to deliver cheques in mailboxes during election periods, but when it comes time to solve problems like the Phoenix pay system, it is too complicated.
A little consistency and a little rigour from our colleague from Winnipeg North would do no harm, and it would elevate the debate in the House a bit.
