“The Conservatives spent over 30 hours delaying this bill in committee. It helps Canadians with costs, like raising the tax deduction for tradespeople who travel for work from $4,000 to $10,000. They should not claim we are rushing it after wasting all that time.”
“Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the member could speak to the over 30 hours that the Conservative members of the finance committee spent filibustering Bill C‑30, which offers a number of affordability measures, economic measures that would help Canadians. For example, there is the labour mobility tax deduction, which is being enhanced from $4,000 to $10,000 for a skilled trades worker who would have to travel for work. Could the member speak to the fact that he is standing here in the House, claiming that we are ramming something through, when his members wasted 30 hours of parliamentary proceedings and resources at the finance committee?”
