Mr. Speaker, after nine long years of these NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. The Prime Minister has taken his anti-energy crusade to a whole new level after recently announcing his oil and gas production cut. This job-killing policy will result in sending jobs to the United States along with $700 million that will go to build pipelines in America. The NDP-Liberals are creating more powerful paycheques. Unfortunately, they are for U.S. oil workers, steelworkers and truck drivers. The government's own analysis admits that its cap on production will cost thousands of jobs and billions of dollars, destroying Canadian paycheques.
Here at home, Canadian workers are getting poorer and cannot afford to put food on the table or a roof over their heads. The NDP-Liberals have no plan for the environment and their cap on production will only perpetuate the economic vandalism they have caused. It is time for a carbon tax election now.
