Brampton, ON 05 May 08 - The Honourable Gurbax Singh Malhi, Member of Parliament for Bramalea - Gore - Malton, Friday called for government action in response to skyrocketing gasoline prices.
"Consumers are being slammed by gas prices, which are expected to hit $1.40 a litre this summer and could reach $2.25 a litre by 2012," said Mr. Malhi in the House of Commons. "High energy prices are especially hurting low income families, leaving little money for food and housing."
"Creative solutions are needed," continued Mr. Malhi. "That is why the Liberal Party has a plan to build a green economy, promote alternative energy sources and improve fuel efficiency."
"Canadians are demanding action to help them cope with rising energy prices today and ensure that Canada is a leader in the green technology of the future. Instead, what they have is a government that is like an exhaust pipe: all it puts out is a lot of hot air."
