I hear concerns every day about how the gas prices are affecting everyone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"14986\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member is championing raising the surtax or putting a surtax on the oil companies. How would she ensure that they will not pass on the cost of this surtax to the consumers? That is my worry because businesses need to keep their profits at a certain level. I personally feel that they will pass on this surtax to the consumers and the consumers will be in the same situation.</p>",

Tous les jours, j'entends des gens se plaindre du prix de l'essence. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"14986\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e pr\u00e9conise une hausse de la surtaxe ou l'imposition d'une surtaxe aux soci\u00e9t\u00e9s p\u00e9troli\u00e8res. Comment veillerait-elle \u00e0 ce que ces soci\u00e9t\u00e9s ne refilent pas le co\u00fbt de cette surtaxe aux consommateurs? C'est ce qui m'inqui\u00e8te, car les entreprises doivent maintenir un certain niveau de b\u00e9n\u00e9fices. \u00c0 mon avis, elles refileront cette surtaxe aux consommateurs, qui ne seront pas plus avanc\u00e9s. </p>"
