During his speech he talked about the Conservatives' previous motion to lift the GST at the pumps, and he would know, from listening to debate on that day, that New Democrats were prepared to entertain the idea of some temporary tax relief for Canadians. We moved an amendment to say that, instead of providing that relief at the pumps, we ought to provide it on home heating. I presented some arguments as to why we thought that was a good idea. It was an opportunity to build a broader consensus here in the House on their motion. Conservatives declined, but I did not hear in that debate the reasons why.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7044442\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member might like to offer the reasons they declined to consider tax relief on home heating that day.</p>",

Dans son discours, il a mentionn\u00e9 la pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente motion de l'opposition des conservateurs, qui proposait de suspendre la TPS sur l'essence. Si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a \u00e9cout\u00e9 le d\u00e9bat ce jour-l\u00e0, il sait que les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates \u00e9taient pr\u00eats \u00e0 \u00e9tudier l'id\u00e9e d'all\u00e9ger temporairement le fardeau fiscal des Canadiens. Nous avons propos\u00e9 un amendement afin d'offrir un cong\u00e9 d'imp\u00f4t non pas sur l'essence, mais plut\u00f4t sur le chauffage r\u00e9sidentiel. J'ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 des arguments justificateurs. C'\u00e9tait l'occasion d'amener plus de d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 appuyer la motion. Les conservateurs ont rejet\u00e9 l'amendement, mais n'ont donn\u00e9 aucune raison pour leur refus ce jour-l\u00e0.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7044442\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait-il dire pourquoi les conservateurs ont rejet\u00e9 l'id\u00e9e d'offrir un cong\u00e9 d'imp\u00f4t sur le chauffage r\u00e9sidentiel ce jour-l\u00e0?</p>"
