Layton Attacks Gas Pump Rip-Offs

Taking aim at price-gouging, especially the current leaps in gasoline prices at the pump, Layton said "the endless rip-offs that suck dry the budgets of working families have got to stop - and when I'm elected Prime Minister, New Democrats will stop them."

Layton blasted Prime Minister Harper for pouring billions of dollars in tax cuts into the pockets of already-rich and powerful corporations. Layton said "As Prime Minister, when it comes to taking on gouging at the pumps, I'll watch your back."

"It's time for a Prime Minister who will start building a fair, prosperous, sustainable Canada, a Prime Minister who stands up for you."
