Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Liberal Party openly admitted that he believes that raising taxes is the best policy for hard-working Canadians. The only thing he seems to have understood correctly is that our government wants to lower taxes and put money back in the pockets of those who deserve it. We are proud of that.
We created tax credits for small businesses, cut the GST down to 5%, brought in tax credits for children's fitness and artistic activities, introduced the tax-free savings account and made other cuts that, together, allow the average family to save $3,400 a year. We did all this while keeping Canada on track to balance the budget in 2015.
Unlike the former Liberal governments, we will continue to keep taxes low and stand up for Canadian families.
