Mr. Speaker, Canadians know that our Conservative government is focused on their priorities: jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.
Meanwhile, the leader of the NDP has made promises that will cost over $56 billion. He does not want to tell Canadians where he will get the money to pay for these new spending promises, but a bit of research found that he will raise the money by imposing a new $20 billion job-killing carbon tax.
This NDP carbon tax plan is found in the party's last election platform and even in the NDP leader's personal policy documents.
The NDP leader's job-killing carbon tax would raise the price of everything, including gas, groceries and electricity.
Our government will stand up against the NDP leader's job-killing carbon tax and against his party's now hidden socialist spending promises.
