Carbon Pricing June 5th, 2023
Mr. Speaker, carbon tax 1 will add 41¢ a litre to the price of gas. Now carbon tax 2 will add another 17¢ on top of that. To make matters even worse, they are going to tax these taxes by adding GST. It all adds up to a whopping 61¢ a litre. These taxes will make everything more expensive while Canadians can barely make ends meet.
It is time to take their foot off the gas. When will they axe the tax?
Canada Business Corporations Act May 31st, 2023
Mr. Speaker, there is one thing I want to ask my colleague about. The bill would put the threshold for significant control at 25% or more of the company shares. For it to be truly effective, I think, and a lot of my Conservative colleagues would agree with me, the threshold would need to be lower, like, for example, what is used by the Ontario Securities Commission, which is 10%.
I wonder if the member could comment on that.
Liberal Party of Canada May 31st, 2023
Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Prime Minister, inflationary Liberal deficits have caused a world of hurt.
After their latest carbon tax increases and their $43-billion deficit-busting budget, the inflationary pain Canadians are feeling continues to rise. Rent and mortgages have doubled. Food inflation stands at 8.3%. Our ability to spend is not infinite. What Canadians want is for inflation to come down now. While millions visit food banks, the Liberals choose to pour fuel on the inflationary fire. The Prime Minister wants Canadians to believe that they have never had it so good.
However, a new day is dawning. A new Conservative prime minister would turn that hurt into hope by ending inflationary deficits, by scrapping the carbon tax on heat, gas and groceries, by cutting taxes and making paycheques powerful again, and by building homes that workers can afford.
It is the common sense of the common people. For their home, my home, our home, let us bring it home.
