Mr. Speaker, as Canadians begin to prepare for Thanksgiving weekend, the last thing they want to think about is higher prices on the supplies and services they will need.
The NDP carbon tax would raise the price on essentials that all Canadian families need. This tax would be greatly noticed over the holidays as families come together, prepare meals and spend time with one another.
University students driving home to see their families do not want to see higher prices at the pumps because of the NDP's sneaky tax schemes. Hard-working parents do not want to see the cost of fruits and vegetables skyrocketing because of the opposition leader's reckless and regressive carbon tax.
While our government continues to keep taxes low and help hard-working families keep more of their own money in their own pockets, will the NDP members stand up today and explain why they want hard-working families from sea to sea to be burdened with higher taxes over Thanksgiving?
