Mr. Speaker, I wish to send the following message to the Liberal leader.
My constituents in Kelowna—Lake Country are not interested in his alleged fiscal plan. We do not need his higher gas tax nor his massive hikes to the GST. We sure do not need the $63 billion in deficit spending that would pile on that national debt.
Fortunately, we have what we need: a government that believes that taxpayer money should be used to provide the programs and services that will benefit Canadians; a government that believes in providing nearly $200 billion in tax relief that will help families meet the challenges of rising prices and stimulate the economy; and, further, a government that cares about the next generation and believes it has a responsibility to pay down Canada's national debt.
That is the kind of prudent fiscal plan Canadians want and need.
As for the Liberal tax and spend plan, sorry but hard-working Canadians just cannot afford it.
