Taxes  In contrast, the NDP voted against these measures and wants to impose higher taxes on Canadian families to pay for its risky spending plans. That party wants to impose a $20 billion job-killing carbon tax that would raise the price of everything families pay for, including gas, groceries and electricity. The NDP's plan to raise taxes is a bad plan. It is bad for Canadians, bad for families and bad for the economy

The Economy  Under our government, Canada has also led the entire G7 in job creation, with over 900,000 net new jobs created since July 2009. While our government is creating jobs, the NDP is proposing a $21 billion job-killing carbon tax that would increase the cost of gas, electricity and everything, but that is not all: the NDP is also proposing over $50 billion to implement an array of social programs, from a 45-day work year to state-run child care.

Natural Gas  That means more expensive electricity bills, higher home heating costs and less money for British Columbians. We will not support this job-killing carbon tax.

The Environment  The failed policy pronouncements of the former Liberal government saw an actual increase in greenhouse gas emissions by over 30%. The proposed policy of the NDP, a $20 billion job-killing carbon tax, would stand to cripple the Canadian economy and not reduce a single tonne of carbon. Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment update the House on our government's latest announcement to regulate heavy-duty vehicle emissions?

New Democratic Party of Canada  That is why Canada is a leader in a troubled global economy. Our government will continue to fight the NDP's $20-billion job-killing carbon tax to protect Canadian families.

The Economy  Our economic action plan has created more than 900,000 jobs since the end of the recession, which is the best performance in the G7. It is unfortunate that the NDP plan for the economy is to impose a $20 billion, job-killing carbon tax on Canadians. Canadians elected a strong, stable, national Conservative majority government in the last election, and it is our duty to fight the NDP's reckless economic policies.

New Democratic Party of Canada  Speaker, the Premier of the Yukon and Yukon caucus colleagues were in Ottawa to celebrate our great territory and the clear and close partnership the governments of Yukon and of Canada have, marked by record levels of transfer payments, health transfer payments, a historic resource revenue-sharing agreement, increased territorial borrowing limits and a common belief that the north's time has come. The other common belief is our opposition to the NDP leader's $21 billion job-killing carbon tax.

New Democratic Party of Canada  During the NDP leadership campaign, the current NDP leader said he had proposed a system of carbon pricing that “will produce billions”. This sneaky $20 billion job-killing carbon tax will increase the price of absolutely everything. Studies show that the negative effects of the NDP's carbon tax would be most keenly felt by low-income Canadians and those living in rural regions.

New Democratic Party of Canada  The countless NDP MPs across the country are very clear. What are they clear about? The NDP is planning to raise over $20 billion in a job-killing carbon tax that would increase the cost of gas, groceries and electricity. I know that my constituents in Etobicoke Centre would not welcome that at all. The NDP members can run but they cannot hide.

The Economy  While we are focused on what matters to Canadians, the NDP, of course, is scheming to implement a $21 billion job-killing carbon tax on Canadians. Such a tax would ruin our economy and hit low-income Canadians the hardest. Our government will continue to fight the NDP's reckless economic policies and we will remain focused on what matters to Canadians: jobs, prosperity and economic growth.

New Democratic Party of Canada  Speaker, Canada's debt is by far the lowest of all the G7 countries, and our record on job creation is the best, with over 900,000 net new jobs created since July 2009. We are working to improve the economy, but the NDP wants to impose a $21 billion job-killing carbon tax on Canadians. The NDP's $21 billion carbon tax would have a devastating impact on Canadian families because it would raise the price of everything from gas to groceries to electricity and all other goods and services.

Taxation  However, while our government is cutting taxes, the NDP is proposing a massive $21 billion job-killing carbon tax that would increase the cost of gas, groceries and home heating. For Canadians struggling to stay warm this winter, it is clear which party is on their side: our Conservative government.

The Economy  That also stands in stark contrast to the Liberal Party, which has no economic plan, and the NDP whose economic plan is a $21 billion job-killing carbon tax. Canadians can rest assured that our government will continue to focus on jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity, and we will continue to make Canada an island of stability in a troubled global economy.

The Economy  Our Conservative government remains squarely focused on what matters to Canadians: jobs, economic growth and our long-term prosperity. On the other hand, the NDP is working to impose a job-killing carbon tax on Canadians that would raise the price of gas, food, electricity and everything else. Such a tax would be devastating for our economy and for Canadian families. Canadians made the right choice by electing our strong Conservative government.

Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada  I take this opportunity to pledge to my constituents that our Conservative government and I will never let the NDP leader get his Christmas wish of imposing a $21 billion job-killing carbon tax on Canadians.
