Mr. Speaker, the government has had a year and a half, and retroactivity is not a bad thing when the cause is right.
This is all about choices. The Conservatives could help families take care of sick or disabled loved ones, but instead they risk $6 billion on extra corporate tax cuts. They could invest in students so everyone who gets the grades gets to go to college or university, but instead they risk $13 billion on American-style mega-jails. They could help families cope with household debts and make ends meet, but instead they risk $21 billion on stealth fighter jets.
Why are the Conservatives so stone deaf to ordinary Canadians?
