In Qualicum Beach it was $1.16 a litre, and $1.12 in Parksville. It was the highest in the country, more than even the Northwest Territories. A recent Bank of Canada report shows that record low oil prices that are rocking the Canadian economy are not being felt at the pump. In British Columbia, with an increase in MSP, it is affecting people and making inequality higher and higher.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4178849\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the member join me in calling for a gas ombudsman to protect seniors, working families, and small business owners from gas gouging at the pump? Canadians need help and they are looking for the government. Will the member join me in calling on the government for someone to protect consumers and Canadians from what is happening to us at the pump?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4178847\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 f\u00e9liciter la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"214504\" href=\"/politicians/marilyn-gladu/\" title=\"Marilyn Gladu\">Sarnia\u2014Lambton</a> de son excellent discours inaugural et de son \u00e9lection.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4178848\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pas plus tard que la semaine derni\u00e8re, le prix de l'essence a atteint un sommet sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent dans ma circonscription. \u00c0 Qualicum Beach, il \u00e9tait de 1,16 $ le litre, alors qu'\u00e0 Parksville, il s'\u00e9levait \u00e0 1,12 $. C'\u00e9tait le prix le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 au pays, encore plus que dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Selon un rapport publi\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment par la Banque du Canada, l'\u00e9conomie canadienne subit les contrecoups du prix plancher record du baril de p\u00e9trole, mais cette situation ne se fait pas sentir \u00e0 la pompe. En Colombie-Britannique, o\u00f9 les primes du r\u00e9gime de services m\u00e9dicaux ont augment\u00e9, cette situation nuit aux gens et exacerbe les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4178849\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e se joindra-t-elle \u00e0 moi pour r\u00e9clamer la nomination d'un ombudsman du p\u00e9trole et du gaz, qui serait charg\u00e9 de prot\u00e9ger les a\u00een\u00e9s, les familles de travailleurs et les propri\u00e9taires de petites entreprises contre l'augmentation exorbitante du prix de l'essence \u00e0 la pompe? Les Canadiens souhaitent que le gouvernement leur vienne en aide. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e se joindra-t-elle \u00e0 moi pour demander au gouvernement de charger quelqu'un de prot\u00e9ger les consommateurs canadiens contre les pratiques de ce genre observ\u00e9es \u00e0 la pompe?</p>"
