Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP Alex Ruff introduced Bill C-358 entitled “An Act to Amend the Excise Tax”.
The bill would see the removal of the GST from the Carbon Tax.
In the statement Ruff says with each passing day, more Canadians are feeling the affordability punch as the rising cost of all goods become more and more expensive.
He adds that the tax on fuel, groceries, and home heating is bad enough but for GST to be charged afterwords just adds insult to injury.
Ruff adds the positive impact of the proposed legislation would be felt across the country, especially in rural areas, where cars, trucks, and tractors are not a choice but a necessity.
