Madam Speaker, I am not surprised that the member opposite is raising the recent temporary, two-month, tax trick, but the key word is that it is temporary. Conservatives will favour permanent tax relief, such as axing the carbon tax. Looking at the capital gains tax or at the escalator on excise tax as well would provide relief.
The short-term Liberal tax trick on a last-minute Christmas tree will not mean much when the carbon tax on every Canadian's gas, groceries and home heating will rise 19% on April 1, 2025. Christmas tree farmers in my region are small and would not even charge GST anyway because their business is small.
Conservatives will have a tax reform. We will axe the federal tax on new homes sold under $1 million to build more homes and put more money into first-time homebuyers' pockets. Conservatives will actually lower taxes so people have more money in their pockets.
