Madam Speaker, that is more misinformation from the government, which refuses to deal with the issue of gas taxes. Volunteer fire stations in Nova Scotia are feeling the burn of its bad policies. The Chester Volunteer Fire Department in my riding, thanks to skyrocketing diesel costs, has doubled its fuel budget. Higher gas means reduced spending on training and vital equipment to keep our communities safe. The Liberals are forcing our volunteer fire services to pick between fuelling their trucks and purchasing life-saving equipment. Will the government cut its excessive gas taxes to help our fire departments survive?
