Mr. Speaker, aiming at a target of going $25 billion per year in the hole is hardly considered noble.
The Prime Minister says to wait until the budget. That is of little comfort to Canadians. Why should home buyers who have seen their monthly mortgage rates go up over $200 wait until the budget? Canadians want this government to act now. They have wanted it to act for over a year.
The finance minister is not dealing with abstract numbers. He is dealing with the lives of real people, not just balance sheets.
Will the Prime Minister send a clear signal to Canadians and tell them that their tax burden will not be increased by his government in its upcoming budget?
