Madam Speaker, the Conservative Party of Canada has absolutely no shame. It is unbelievable but true. Conservatives voted against a tax break for the holiday season. Now, this is the real burner on this issue. This is what the Conservatives said in their platform for the last election: “To help families and help our hard-hit retail stores recover, Canada’s Conservatives will implement a month-long GST holiday”. The the leader of the Conservative Party then tweeted, “We will remove GST for the month of December”.
It is incredible. How do each and every one of them say, on the one hand, that they are going to get rid of it, and then, when it comes time to vote, one by one, they stand in their place and vote against giving a tax break to Canadians? I say shame on each and every one of them. By the way, how do we define hypocrisy?
