Mr. Speaker, I am glad to answer the question from my hon. colleague.
As we all know, lower taxes create jobs, and they help families get by, as well. That is why, since 2006, we have lowered over 200 different taxes. Canadian families, on average, have $3,200 extra in their pockets at the end of each year as a result of our low-tax policies.
It has also encouraged businesses to invest. It has encouraged businesses to come back and relocate their head offices in Canada, such as Tim Hortons, which relocated its head office back in Canada because of our low-tax policies and our low-tax plans, which have proven to be a success. They helped us through the recession we had in 2008.
We came out stronger than any of our trading partners in any of the G7 countries. It is because of our low-tax policies. It is because we are also intending to balance the budget in 2015. It is because we have already paid down the debt by $38 billion between 2006 and 2008. We all know that a $21-billion carbon tax, which is proposed by the NDP, would be a job-killing tax.
