The Liberal - NDP Government is driving up the cost of living. The more Prime Minister Trudeau spends, the more things will cost.
The government’s proposals do little to solve the problem. Proposals on dental and housing are bureaucratic and costly without real results for everyday people. While The GST Rebate will provide welcome relief that Conservatives support, it will not address the real problem: that inflationary deficits and taxes are driving up costs at the fastest rate in nearly 40 years.
For two years, Conservatives have warned Justin Trudeau about the consequences of his actions, and how much it hurts Canadians from coast-to-coast. This past week, new Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on the government to cancel all planned tax increases, including payroll tax hikes planned for January 1st and tax hikes on gas, groceries and home heating on April 1st. These tax hikes are coming at the worst possible time for Canadian families, who are struggling with rising costs due to Trudeau’s inflation. Instead of freezing taxes, Trudeau is raising taxes on people who are struggling to make ends meet.
While Conservative MPs voted to cancel all planned tax increases, Liberal and NDP MPs voted to keep them. This includes a planned tripling of the carbon tax.
Below is the speech Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre made to lead off debate on our Opposition motion to cancel the planned tax increases.
I encourage everyone to watch it:
