Mr. Speaker, Canadians cannot afford inaction and indifference from the Conservative government.
When the provinces proposed higher CPP premiums to improve Canadian pension incomes, Conservatives called it a job-killing payroll tax, but when the Conservatives keep EI premiums artificially high just to pad their books to create a phony pre-election surplus, it is okay. It is fair game.
Why are higher payroll premiums okay if they help Conservative politics but not okay if they help Canadian pensioners?
