Mr. Speaker, our government has taken action in successive budgets to reduce the tax burden on average Canadians so that they have more money in their pockets to spend on what they need the most.
The hon. member is a good friend of mine. Let me remind him about the NDP record in Ontario. Ontario had the highest income taxes in North America, the highest deficit in Ontario's history up until that point, and the most job losses since the Great Depression. Tuition fees were doubled. This turned Ontario into the welfare capital of Canada.
Rather than coming up with something new, the NDP members, rather than changing their proposals, want to double-down and bring what they did to Ontario to the whole of Canada.
