Mr. Speaker, again, Canadians simply do not want to pay higher CPP payroll taxes.
We have heard this from Canadians. We have heard it from small business. We have heard it from owners of small businesses. We have heard it from provinces.
The NDP's plan to double CPP would kill up to 70,000 jobs and cost a typical Canadian household as much as $2,600 per year. In this fragile economy, Canadians simply cannot afford the NDP's high taxes and high spin.
