Mr. Speaker, a former statesman once said, “A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain citizens from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to pursue individual enterprise and shall not take from the mouth of labour the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.”
The three principles of this statement are exactly what our Conservative government has provided to Canadians since 2006.
Our Conservative government has enacted laws to protect our citizens and is making Canada's streets safer.
Our Conservative government has cut unnecessary red tape, opened new trade markets for business and invested in Canadian research and technology, which supports individual enterprise.
Finally, our Conservative government has lowered taxes over 140 times, thereby putting more money in the pockets of Canadians and Canadian businesses.
I stand on this side of the House because Conservatives believe in these principles, and we are delivering good government to Canadians.
