Mr. Speaker, Canada's GDP has shrunk over the last nine quarters. This means that Canadians are getting poorer and that their quality of life is declining dramatically.
The story is exactly the opposite in the United States, which is enjoying a GDP growth rate of 2.8%. Canadians are facing financial pressure caused by the Prime Minister's carbon tax and capital gains tax increases. I know it is hard for him to understand how miserable Canadians are, but can he show some compassion by eliminating these taxes?
