Wayne Long Liberal
“Our government has always worked to make life more affordable for Canadians. We cut taxes on new homes and fuel, and we sent people money for food and basic needs. We will keep focusing on helping with costs, while the Conservatives only make empty noise.”
“Mr. Speaker, from day one, we have been focused on delivering affordability measures for Canadians. Let us talk about the removal of the GST for first-time homebuyers. Let us talk about the pause on the federal excise tax. That is 10¢ a litre. Combine that with the removal of the carbon tax, and it is a 28¢-per-litre savings. We just launched the groceries and essentials benefit. We just announced the 50% payment a week and a half ago. On this side of the House, we will continue to focus on affordability. The Conservatives will focus on rhetoric and bluster.”
