Mr. Speaker, the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is in full swing. My constituents are hanging lights, putting up their trees and buying gifts for their friends and loved ones.
Sadly, a dark cloud looms over this holiday season. The threat of a $21 billion NDP carbon tax would mean that future holidays would not be so bright. If the NDP leader gets his way, in future it will be more expensive to let those lights shine bright, more expensive to get a tree and higher prices for all Christmas gifts.
I take this opportunity to pledge to my constituents that our Conservative government and I will never let the NDP leader get his Christmas wish of imposing a $21 billion job-killing carbon tax on Canadians.
