“I support this bill, even though it does not go far enough. Real help means letting Canadians keep their own money, not taking it in taxes and handing back a small fraction.”
“Mr. Speaker, obviously I support solid investments, but the fact of the matter is this, and I will say it again. We are constantly gaslighted that Canadians are doing just fine and that there is not an affordability crisis. We are told that we do not support measures that help Canadians because we vote against the Liberals’ so-called supports and programs, when the truth of the matter is that what helps Canadians is allowing them to keep their own money in their pockets in the first place. That is why we will support this half measure. It is not enough, but it is something that would keep money in Canadians’ pockets to begin with, rather than taking their money, giving them a pittance back and saying, “Are we not wonderful?””
