Mr. Speaker, the NDP has just launched its “Making life more affordable” campaign. The NDP is the only party in Canada that understands what life is really like for families.
The cost of living has never been higher, and half of all Canadians live paycheque to paycheque. Making ends meet has never been harder. That is why the NDP thinks it is time to take action, ban fees for receiving paper copies of bills, limit ATM fees to 50 cents per transaction, cap credit card interest rates, bring in a gas price ombudsman who can put an end to the collusion between the oil companies and respond to the complaints from consumers who are feeling robbed, and implement an air passenger bill of rights like the one in Europe.
The solutions are simple. The Conservative government can make all the promises it wants, but it is not doing anything. In 2015, the NDP will deliver.
