He has been here a while. Several years ago, as a commitment to the people of Canada, it was stated that a re-elected Conservative government led by Stephen Harper would \u201creduce the federal excise tax on diesel and aviation fuel by half, from four cents per litre to two cents per litre, reducing the price of transportation\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889231\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why did the former Conservative government not do that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5889230\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 va continuer d'aborder des th\u00e8mes semblables, mais j'aimerais auparavant qu'il r\u00e9ponde \u00e0 une question tr\u00e8s importante. Il est ici depuis un certain temps. Un engagement avait \u00e9t\u00e9 pris envers les Canadiens il y a plusieurs ann\u00e9es. On avait d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que, si les conservateurs \u00e9taient r\u00e9\u00e9lus, un gouvernement dirig\u00e9 par Stephen Harper \u00ab r\u00e9duira[it] de moiti\u00e9 la taxe d'accise f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur le di\u00e9sel et le carburant d'aviation \u2014 de quatre \u00e0 deux cents le litre \u2014 diminuant ainsi le prix du transport [...] \u00bb. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889231\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi l'ancien gouvernement conservateur ne l'a-t-il pas fait? </p>"
