Carbon Tax Proposal   of Independent Business and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, as well as their many members from across Canada, that this government and this finance minister will not be introducing a punitive, job killing carbon tax. We know the Liberal leader simply will not provide the same assurance

Economic and Fiscal Statement   a coalition led by a party that promised a job-killing carbon tax, they would be working hand in hand with a socialist party that has promised to raise business taxes and, worst of all, that would be propped up by a separatist party whose sole purpose is to break up Canada

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal leader has no plan for Canada's economy. That is why he is supports a job-killing carbon tax. He says he would consider increasing the GST. The Liberal leader said he would cancel the $1,200 universal child care benefit offered by the Conservative

Liberal Party of Canada   the separatists and the socialists. In fact, they liked separatism so much that one of their senators took up the cause for Newfoundland. They ran their election on a job-killing carbon tax, even as the world economy was heading into uncertainty. Canada would be suffering now if a carbon tax

Liberal Party of Canada  Thank you for hearing my voice. Mr. Speaker, I want the Liberal leader to know that imposing a job-killing carbon tax and hiking the GST is no plan--

The Economy   wants to raise the GST. Our Prime Minister and this government have consistently opposed a job killing carbon tax. Someone wants to introduce it. Our Prime Minister and this government introduce the $1,200 a year for every child under six universal child care benefit. Someone

The Economy  All I can say, Mr. Speaker, is thank goodness Canadians did not take the advice of the Liberal Party of Canada in the last election, when it wanted to impose a job killing carbon tax on them. Thank goodness Canadians saw through that. Thank goodness we do not have the Liberal

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, Canada is being impacted by the global economic downturn. Nowhere is this more evident than in the significant job losses reported in February. Families affected by job losses are looking for economic leadership, not a hike in the GST and certainly not a job killing

Government Policies   to slow down the process of putting shovels in the ground and getting infrastructure projects working. Meanwhile, someone wants a job-killing carbon tax that will have a negative impact on the Canadian economy. That someone has a senior adviser who considers Canada's seal hunt

The Economy   training. The Liberals' plan? Well, they do not actually have a plan on that front yet. Canada needs the economic action plan this Conservative government has created, not the Liberal plan that would raise the GST and bring in a job-killing carbon tax.

Carbon Tax Policy  Mr. Speaker, while our Prime Minister is championing the economic action plan, a plan that cuts taxes, includes job-creating stimulus and protects those hardest hit by the recession, the leader of the Liberal Party is trying to back away from the job-killing carbon tax, a policy

Industry  Mr. Speaker, our government has always maintained that the last thing our economy needs is a job-killing carbon tax. Unfortunately, the Liberal Party continues to consider this irresponsible idea. The Liberal leader campaigned on it during his leadership race and vigorously

Industry   convinced his former leader to make a job-killing carbon tax the centrepiece of the Liberal election campaign. When B.C. introduced its own carbon tax, gas prices at the pump shot up 4¢ the very next day. That kind of Liberal tax increase on gas and oil prices would be—

The Economy   the resource sector in B.C., or the auto industry in Ontario, but his real dream is to impose a job-killing carbon tax. Since first suggesting the idea decades ago, someone has championed the carbon tax idea in the Liberal leadership and during the last campaign. If imposed by now, someone

Automotive Industry  . That is hypocrisy. Let us say that one is the father of the job killing carbon tax and campaigns on it, but then tries to distance oneself from it. That is hypocrisy. Or if one pretends to support the seal hunt and then allows one of the senators and top advisers to work to ban it. That could
