Mr. Speaker, before the government came into power, road trips used to be a staple vacation for many Canadian families. However, gas prices in Ontario skyrocketed overnight, pushing $1.80. This is the highest price in two years. The Liberal-NDP Prime Minister's carbon tax is now at 18¢ a litre for gas, and when he quadruples the carbon tax, it will shoot up even higher. After nine years, Canadians are convinced that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Will the Prime Minister cancel the carbon tax on gas this summer so that Canadians can afford a family vacation?

Mr. Speaker, they are completely out of touch. There is debt, chaos, hardship and stress hitting Canadians, and the policies of the Liberal-NDP government have directly contributed to the pain they are feeling. The reality is that the family budget has shrunk, and family vacations are a thing of the past for many. It was $1.80 for gas this morning. Will the Prime Minister cancel the carbon tax and take a permanent vacation so Canadians can afford a small summer road trip?
