Mr. Speaker, I believe CPAC refers to this moment as the crown jewel of its weekly programming. Because it is Thursday, I am wondering if the government House leader can update the House as to the business for the rest of this week and into the next week.
I wonder specifically if the government has had the time to analyze and absorb the Conservative leader's letter calling for concrete, common-sense proposals to not only deal with the cost of living crisis but also strengthen Canada's position against things like unfair tariffs, ideas like getting rid of the capital gains tax on investments that are reinvested in Canada. I wonder if we will see legislation on that rather than a complicated rebate scheme that will see Canadian tax dollars go to subsidize the purchase of foreign-built EVs, and if we can expect any legislation that would include the Conservative idea of getting rid of the GST on all Canadian-produced vehicles. Those are the types of concrete measures that would not only lower the cost of living for Canadians but also help build our economy.
Will the government take us up on that offer as we extend our hands across the way for common-sense solutions, or will it once again double down on failed policies of the past?
