Mr. Speaker, common-sense Conservatives have one simple request for the Prime Minister, which is to please just stop: stop the tax hikes, especially the job-killing carbon tax; stop fuelling inflation by cutting inflationary spending and axing the sales tax on homes so homebuyers can save up to $50,000; stop adding debt by confirming that the deficit has not risen above the $40-billion guardrail promised by the Prime Minister.
Never before has so much been spent to achieve so little. The Prime Minister has spent so much, he has added more debt than every other prime minister in Canadian history combined. Even former finance minister Bill Morneau agrees that inflationary spending has driven up the cost of everything.
There is an old adage that once one has dug oneself into a hole, it is time to stop digging. It is time for a carbon tax election so common-sense Conservatives can axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.
