Jobs and Growth Act, 2012   government scheme. We on this side of the House believe that Canadians pay too much tax. The latest high-tax NDP scheme, its $21 billion carbon tax, is the latest in a string of examples that would dramatically reduce the take-home pay of Canadian families. Canadians are concerned

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I am happy to say that our approach is working. Thanks to our actions, carbon emissions will go down close to 130 megatonnes from what they would have been under the Liberals. What does the other parties want? They want a $20-billion carbon tax. Let us look at what

Economic Action Plan 2014 Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member said that local governments cannot raise taxes. Where is the money going to come from?

New Democratic Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, everywhere I turn I am reminded of the NDP's $20 billion carbon tax. When I travel, be it by train, plane or car, I cannot help but think of the hundreds of dollars Canadians would have to shovel out to support the NDP's reckless carbon tax. Economists estimate

For example, the carbon tax proposal would cost Canadians $22 billion and would probably do nothing, or very little, to reduce greenhouse gas

New Democratic Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable that the NDP members continually stand in the House and try to deny their plans for a $21 billion job-killing carbon tax.

Jobs and Growth Act, 2012   that they are not on this side of the House. This morning in committee, one of our committee members very enthusiastically endorsed once again the carbon tax plan they have.

New Democratic Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the constituents of my riding of Brampton—Springdale are worried about what the NDP carbon tax would cost them and their families.

Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada   in the future. This person has a plan to impose a new $20 billion job-killing carbon tax on Canadian taxpayers. He wants to impose this job-killing carbon tax to generate billions of dollars in revenues. This $20 billion job-killing carbon tax will make it harder for Canadians to take

New Democratic Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the NDP and their leader are trying to fool Canadians yet again. How, one might ask? The NDP leader wants to generate billions with the NDP's proposal to impose a $20 billion carbon tax on Canadian families. During the NDP leadership campaign, the current NDP

Natural Resources committee   for a carbon tax, when we've also heard that this may be the thing that's actually putting our industry at risk of losing some of the benefits to Canadians, and at a disadvantage in the market when our chief competitors, the U.S. for one, do not have such a carbon tax.
