Mr. Speaker, pensions are at risk and RRSPs are losing significant value. At a time when Canadian seniors are faced with poverty, the government is raising their taxes.
The Liberals have decided to abandon hard-working Canadians, but I rise today to speak on behalf of those they have abandoned.
Canadians are opposed to the HST. In fact, in Manitoba they have rejected the government's HST framework as it would impose more than $400 million in new taxes on families. Canadians cannot afford it. They do not want it.
Why will the government not listen?
