Mr. Speaker, Canadian families did wait for help in the form of reduced taxes for 13 long years.
However, since 2006, they have been receiving those benefits from our government, benefits that now total, for a typical Canadian family, over $3,000 less in taxes paid. That is over $3,000 more in their pockets. That is one of the reasons the Canadian economy has been performing well.
We have avoided the path that the Liberals would have us go, the path that other countries are on--that of high taxes, high debt and high deficit it is the very path that is causing threats to the global economy from elsewhere.
Here in Canada, we have avoided that path. That is why our economy is strong, and we will say on that path.
