Mr. Speaker, after the Prime Minister has doubled the cost of housing, added an inflationary carbon tax to everything Canadians buy and given us the highest levels of debt in the G7, his plan is a temporary, tiny, two-month tax trick. However, not even small businesses are fooled. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says that only 4% of small businesses expect a sales boost because of the latest, last-ditch effort for the Prime Minister to save his own job.
If the Prime Minister is so sure about his plan, why does he not call a carbon tax election and let Canadians decide?
