Eric Lefebvre Conservative
“Factories are closing and taxes hurt local businesses. Savoura pays 2.5 million dollars a year in carbon taxes and green fees, making it hard to compete with Mexican tomatoes. The government should cut rules and taxes instead of making new temporary fixes.”
“Mr. Speaker, what a sad state of affairs. Since January, factory closures have been on the rise. On top of losing their jobs, Canadians are footing the Liberal Party’s credit card bill. Savoura pays $2.5 million a year in carbon tax and in Éco Entreprises Québec penalties. These surcharges make it difficult to compete with tomatoes from Mexico, which travel across the entire continent. Instead of creating a new band-aid for businesses, why not streamline the regulations and give our business owners some real breathing room?”
