Mr. Speaker, he is so new to this place and yet so arrogant. It is amazing.
Yesterday the finance minister had the nerve to blame the private sector for Canada's sagging productivity. Canada has some of the highest tax rates on capital investment in the world, which the finance minister is responsible for. Businesses are drowning in red ink, which his government is responsible for.
If the minister wants to blame someone for sagging productivity why does he not look in the mirror?
