Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada reported terrible news for the Canadian economy today. It grew at a meagre 1%, a third lower than foreseen and less than our population grew. In fact, it was the eighth out of the last nine economic quarters in which our per capita GDP shrunk. It has fallen more than any other G7 country's since the year before COVID. This is the direct result of higher taxes on capital gains, on energy and on work.
Why will the Liberals not accept our common-sense plan? Better yet, why do they not call a carbon tax election so we can fix the economy?
