Mr. Speaker, most Canadians know that lowering corporate taxes leads to more companies expanding, new businesses moving to Canada and therefore to more jobs for their children, friends and neighbours.
That is why this government has lowered these taxes by more than 30%.
Lower personal taxes leaves more money in the pockets of Canadians to pay down debt and, who knows, maybe even buy some Christmas presents.
That is why our Conservative government has lowered personal taxes by more than $3,000 per year for a family of four.
Why then is this opposition coalition proposing higher, job-killing corporate taxes and higher personal taxes, including a $75 iPod tax? That would be some Christmas present.
Is it that they are not in it for Canadians; they are just in it for themselves? Or is it that they simply cannot kick their addiction to big spending?
Canadians should be very careful that they do not accidentally end up with this job-killing group of pick-pockets after the next election.
