Mr. Speaker, since the Prime Minister will not answer these simple questions, I will try the Minister of Finance.
First, he launched his consultation in the middle of summer. Then he doubled-down on these tax hikes before he had even heard from Canadians. Nobody believes that the Minister of Finance cares what Canadians think. Every time the finance minister says he is out listening to people, Canadians say he is ignoring them.
This weekend, after hearing the Minister of Finance explain his plan, chambers of commerce from across the country voted 99% against it.
Why is it that every time the Minister of Finance explains what he is doing, more and more people are against it?
