Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the Liberal-NDP government, Canada has become the caboose to America's high-flying economic engine. The GDP per capita has become so stark that the average American worker is now making $22,000 more than the Canadian worker. Why? Well, because Americans do not pay a carbon tax. They do not have high-flying capital gains taxes and they do not have soft trade policies.
When will the Prime Minister finally admit that his high taxes and soft trade policies have derailed Canadian prosperity or is he content in keeping Canadian workers riding in the back in the caboose?
