Mr. Speaker, “and beyond”, the Prime Minister doubled the deficit, contributing to inflation. He has introduced a new fuel tax, partially offsetting the one that we forced him to put on hold. He is increasing the industrial carbon tax.
Today, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business revealed that 20% of its members say their businesses are “weak” or “critical”. Only 18% said they would recommend other people start businesses. Fifty per cent say not to start a business right now because the costs are too high. Conservatives want to save money and jobs through small business.
Will the Prime Minister reverse his inflationary policies so we can bring down the costs on our small business consumers and workers?
