Madam Speaker, the member used the term “gimmicks”. Let me remind my colleague that in 2021, the Conservatives brought forward the idea of having a GST holiday, just like what has been passed in the House and implemented. They also brought forward the concept of removing the GST on home heating. What did they do, though, when the NDP brought forward a motion to do that? They voted against it.
The Conservatives bring forward ideas, but if they are not the ones putting forward the motion, they vote against it. One thing we do know is that when the Harper government was in power, the last time Conservatives governed, they gave a 7% tax cut for big corporations that cost Canadian taxpayers over $70 billion. They gave a 1% tax break to small business. We know where their priorities are.
Are the Conservatives going to make promises and then continue to break them? Is that the plan, or are they going to put forward and share something today that they actually want to support and work with other parties on? In nine years, I cannot think of a thing they have gotten done. Instead, we have been working on dental care and pharmacare. I will let my colleague present something here that maybe we can work together on.
