Mr. Speaker, as Canadians make plans to head home for Christmas, the NDP leader's carbon tax will be on their minds.
The NDP leader's plan to increase the cost of fuel will make bus trips, train trips and airline trips much more expensive, more expensive for students trying to get home and more expensive for resource workers trying to get home. In fact, the NDP leader's $21 billion carbon tax will sadly make the difference on whether some people can afford to get home for Christmas at all.
On this side of the House, our government will fight this carbon tax and fight the NDP leader's plan to ruin Christmas for travellers. Canadians can count on Conservatives to protect Christmas by keeping taxes low.
