Mr. Speaker, it is Thanksgiving, a time to count our blessings. As Canadians, we are blessed every day by the hard-working people our country relies on, like the men and women of our Canadian Forces, police, paramedics and firefighters, who protect us. There are those who build our country, like power linemen, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, oil field workers, loggers, truckers and plant and factory workers. Then there is the quiet but vital work of restaurant servers and checkout clerks, and of course our farmers, who grow our food and feed millions around the world.
We promise these extraordinary Canadians that a common-sense Conservative government will restore the promise of Canada. It will be a Canada where they can afford to eat, have a decent home, live in a safe neighbourhood and retire comfortably.
This Thanksgiving, we continue our fight to give Canadians a carbon tax election, which will bring relief from high taxes, high costs, high crime and a corrupt Liberal government. Let us bring it home.
