Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have been in power for a decade, and Canadians are feeling the results. They are struggling with the high cost of living, including rising food prices, skyrocketing housing costs, and paycheques that just do not go far enough.
This is a simple concept: The more the Liberals spend, the more things cost. Reckless Liberal spending and increasing tax increases are making life harder for Canadians. It is time to reverse course.
Conservatives have a plan for the budget. We have got great demands. We are asking to get rid of hidden taxes on Canadians' food. We want to cut taxes on work, homebuilding, investments and energy. We want the government to keep the deficit under $42 billion.
Canadians are sick of Liberal buzzwords. We are sick and tired of the lectures. We are ready for results. Our budget demands are simple, reasonable and effective. They will help restore the promise of Canada.
