Mr. Speaker, if he does not find it, it will be over $100 billion in brand new spending, to respond to the Prime Minister's heckles.
He also promised that he would invest more. His own budget document lays out a graph showing that every quarter of this year will see private sector business investment collapse. This costly budget forces Canadians to spend more on debt interest than on health care transfers and more than the government collects in GST. This means that every dollar that Canadians pay in GST would go to bankers and bondholders instead of to doctors and nurses. That is all while he raises the industrial carbon tax on farm equipment and fertilizer and therefore food, as well as on steel, concrete and other industrial projects needed to build homes: a big tax increase on homes and food.
Instead, our party wanted an affordable budget for an affordable life. On behalf of all the Canadians who can no longer afford to eat, heat or house themselves because of Liberal inflation, we Conservatives cannot support this costly Liberal budget.
However, there is still time for the Prime Minister to do the right thing. We will put forward an amendment that would transform this policy by making Canada affordable again. It would get rid of the industrial carbon tax and cut the wasteful spending to bring down debt, inflation and taxes. It would open our country up to opportunity by developing our prodigious resources and clear away bureaucracy to build affordable homes.
We are asking the Prime Minister to accept our amendment to make life more affordable, deliver more powerful paycheques for Canadians and make our economy more independent.
That is the approach we are proposing. We are proposing an economy that is affordable for young people, that provides security for seniors, and that protects Canada's promise to anyone who works hard.
We want a hopeful future. For our young people, we want homes, jobs and hope. For our seniors, we want affordability. We want, for all Canadians who work hard, to bring back the promise of Canada.
With that, I move:
That the debate be now adjourned.
(Motion agreed to)
