Mr. Speaker, what is the Liberal leader's plan for the economy? Well, he has really only ever talked about two things: tax more so he can spend more.
He says a job-killing GST hike is on the table. He brags he was the first Liberal to call for a carbon tax on everything. All his MPs and advisers talk about is the need for higher taxes. What would the Liberal leader do with the billions of new taxes that he would ask Canadians to pay?
The Liberals want higher taxes on everything: taxes for grandiose and costly environmental plans; taxes for more Liberal social engineering programs; and taxes for megaproject after megaproject.
For the Liberals, it is all about tax, tax, tax and spend, spend, spend.
They just do not get it. Higher taxes and reckless spending will not create jobs, and they will not encourage economic growth.
Canadians know full well that the Liberal plan for the economy is very simple: tax more, spend more.
