Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will continue. I was talking about the NDP's $21-billion carbon tax as a priority for them. I would not want to sell that. However, what I would want to sell as a government is the leadership of our Prime Minister. In the first quarter of this year the Canadian

Technical Tax Amendments Act, 2012  Mr. Speaker, I have been listening very carefully, but there is something I would like to hear a clear answer to. In the House we often hear about the NDP's $21-billion carbon tax scheme. It has been in the NDP platform. Also, on September 14, in a Financial Post interview

New Democratic Party of Canada  ' misrepresentation of facts and positions. After all, the NDP is the party that has a $21 billion carbon tax in its policy documents, in black and white, and yet its members spent the fall denying it here in the House. We will continue to expose the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax that would raise

New Democratic Party of Canada   on Canadians. The NDP's $21 billion carbon tax would have a devastating impact on Canadian families because it would raise the price of everything from gas to groceries to electricity and all other goods and services. Our government has held over 200 economic consultations over the past

Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, over the past six weeks I have had the opportunity to speak and consult with hundreds of constituents and hard-working Canadians. One thing is very clear. They do not want to see the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax. We all know that the NDP leader is planning

Jobs and Growth Act, 2012   and would also phase out tax preferences for the mining and oil and gas sectors. It would not be like the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax that would totally reverse that. Finally, I am pleased to see that Bill C-45 would improve Canada's immigration system by requiring any foreign national

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' lip service on climate change set us back decades. Their failure to connect their rhetoric with action can only be described as an absolute breakdown between policy and reality. On the other hand, the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax would increase

The Environment   2020 reduction targets. Our plan is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax is not guaranteed to reduce a single tonne of CO2.

New Democratic Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, I had the great pleasure of meeting with my constituents and neighbours last week in Mississauga and hearing about their extreme opposition to the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax, a tax that won a new friend and a new foe last week. The new foe is President Barack

Foreign Investment  . That is exactly why we need trade and investment to drive economic growth and job creation here at home. What we do not need during these fragile times is an NDP $21 billion carbon tax that will increase the cost of groceries and gasoline.

Jobs and Growth Act, 2012  . The opposite side of the House, however, advocates for higher taxes, such as the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax proposal. In this high-tax scenario I argue that today's global economy businesses would simply choose other places to invest. Corporations would have a thinner bottom line

Automotive Industry   investments and by helping the industry avoid bankruptcy in 2009, measures opposed by the NDP. What our government will not do is risk auto jobs by implementing the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax that would make minivans and the gas they run on more expensive. Auto workers can trust our

The Environment  , is yet another example of how we are working toward a cleaner and a healthier environment. Unlike the NDP's $21 billion carbon tax, which would increase the cost of everything, our action plan will create jobs, not kill them.
