Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada  Of course, this is the same Liberal leader who has mused about raising the GST and has bragged that he was the first Liberal to propose a carbon tax on everything. His latest tax hike promise is to raise job-killing business taxes. It seems that no tax hike is off the table for the tax-and-spend Liberal leader. Thankfully, our Conservative government firmly believes that lower taxes fuel job creation and economic growth.

Jobs and Economic Growth Act  However, there is a lot for oil companies, through tax benefits and also the absence of a carbon tax. The Bloc would also have liked to see in the budget a recognition or compensation program for industries that have made efforts to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, including Quebec industries, such as its manufacturing industry which has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 24%.

Agriculture committee  I would just say that the carbon tax does not reward anybody. The carbon tax is a straight tax. Everybody gets taxed, and there's no revenue to be gained in offsetting that tax; it's just a straight tax. And that's why I'm asking about the carbon tax and what that tax would do to your industry.

Business of Supply  Speaker, the hon. member is asking me to make an impossible choice. Understandably, I will not make such a choice. One thing is clear. Whether through a carbon tax or carbon exchange, there is one thing the members must agree on: we need to put a price on carbon as soon as possible. We must be able to tell the businesses that already made an effort that regulations are available to them and they can sell their carbon credits and the reductions they made.

Taxation  On April 14, 2009, the Liberal leader said, “We will have to raise taxes”. Whether it is a GST hike, talking up carbon taxes or proposing job-killing business taxes, the Liberal leader just cannot stop talking about raising taxes. Could the Minister of Transport tell the House how the Liberal leader's high tax proposals differ from that of our Conservative government?

LaVar PayneConservative

Taxation  He is a self-proclaimed tax-and-spend Liberal. The Liberal leader was among the first Liberals to call for the carbon tax that Canadians rejected in the last election. Let us not forget that to end his spenders' conference, the Liberal leader proposed job-killing business taxes. One year ago the Liberal leader set out to raise Canadian taxes and he has stayed true to his tired message, but Canadians know higher taxes kill jobs.

The Economy  The Liberals only economic talk is about all the ways they plan to raise taxes. They talk about raising the GST. They talk about carbon taxes, and they want to impose job-killing business taxes to pay for big, expensive programs. Even staunch Liberals, like former Paul Martin's former communications director, Scott Reid, are shaking their heads at the Liberal leader's out of touch policies.

Stephen WoodworthConservative

The Economy  Compare that to the Liberal plan for the economy: hiking job-killing business taxes, raising the GST and imposing a carbon tax. We will stick to our plan, a plan that is having a positive effect.

Joe PrestonConservative

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada  He also referred to America as being his own country. No wonder he is calling for GST hikes, carbon taxes and job-killing business taxes. Just who does the Liberal leader think he is? An elitist aristocrat? Does he not realize that Canada does not have a class system? After 34 long years of being away from Canada, the Liberal leader is completely out of touch with hard-working Canadians.

Subcommittee on Canadian Industrial Sectors committee  Maybe you can speak to the effects of a carbon tax on your industry.

Mike LakeConservative

Subcommittee on Canadian Industrial Sectors committee  I'll just throw out a quick question. One of the major differentiations during the last election campaign was the issue of a carbon tax, with one party advocating for a carbon tax and one party saying that's the wrong way to go. Maybe we could have your comments on how a carbon tax approach would affect your industries.

Mike LakeConservative

The Economy  The Leader of the Opposition can muse and pontificate all he wants about the economy, but everyone knows he has no plan. The only substantive economic idea he has ever proposed was a carbon tax, a carbon tax far deeper and far more sweeping than the carbon tax proposed by his former leader, the member for Saint-Laurent—Cartierville. One other thing he wants to form is another parliamentary committee to study it.

The Economy  Yet the Liberal leader would throw Canada's advantage away by recklessly establishing a job-killing business tax, raising the GST and imposing a carbon tax. Simply put, the Liberal leader's tax and spend agenda would hurt families and set Canada back.

Rick NorlockConservative

The Economy  Our government has cut taxes for families, businesses and individuals, yet the Liberal leader would throw Canada's advantage away by recklessly hiking job-killing business taxes, raising the GST and imposing a carbon tax. The Liberal leader's tax and spend agenda will kill jobs, put the brakes on our economic recovery and hurt Canadian families. The Liberal tax and spend agenda is something Canadians just cannot afford.
