Dave Van Kesteren Conservative Chatham-Kent—Essex, ON

Mr. Speaker, while our Conservative government is focused on jobs, the NDP is bashing the Canadian economy.

First, the NDP tries to hike taxes on Canadians from a $10 billion a year hike on employers to a GST hike on families and more. Second, the NDP travels to Washington to join fellow left-wing radicals to attack our country's economy and good Canadian jobs. Finally, last night, the NDP shockingly voted against implementing the next phase of Canada's economic action plan.

Could the finance minister please explain what the NDP tried to kill last night?
