Mr. Speaker, after nine years under the NDP-Liberal Prime Minister, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up.
Taxes are up for everyone, and in Saskatchewan, our hospitals and schools will pay $380 million in carbon taxes alone. This is money that should be used to hire doctors, nurses, technicians, teachers and educational assistants. Instead it is being used to line the pockets of the Prime Minister's elitist friends, such as Mark Carney. In Saskatchewan, we have seen this act before. The last time there was a radical tax-and-spend Trudeau as prime minister, health care took a major hit in my province, with hospitals and clinics being forced to close or reduce services. Yes, time is up.
The NDP leader has once again sold out his support to the Prime Minister, just as he did the other 24 times that we voted to axe the tax. If NDP members truly supported health care and education, they would end their costly coalition and vote with us to call a carbon tax election, just as Canadians want. It is clear that only Conservatives are on Saskatchewan's side, and we will axe the tax for good.
