Mr. Speaker, again, Canadians cannot afford to pay higher mandatory taxes at a time when we are in a very fragile global recovery.
Let me quote Susanna Cluff-Clyburne of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, who said:
The more you increase the cost of bringing employees into the workplace, it’s going to put up a barrier to creating...jobs.
Unlike the opposition, this government has been focused on creating jobs, focused on skill development, and focused on building this economy again.
