Mr. Speaker, the only time a Liberal talks about the economy is to tell Canadians that Liberals like higher taxes.
First, the Liberal leader thinks the best thing for the economy is a GST hike. Besides hurting the pocketbooks of ordinary Canadians, the Liberal GST hike would kill 160,000 jobs. Second, the Liberals want to impose a new carbon tax on everything. And now, regrettably, the Liberals want to increase job-killing business taxes.
On the other hand, our Conservative government is implementing Canada's economic action plan and lowering taxes on families. Our plan is working. Since July 2009, employment in Canada has increased by 285,000 jobs. In April alone, we saw over 108,000 jobs created.
Canadians now have more than 108,000 reasons to say no to Liberal tax hikes and yes to Canada's economic action plan.
