Garnett Genuis Conservative
“I want the member to read the human resources committee report. It has nearly 20 ideas supported by all parties to fix immigration, train young people, build more homes, and grow the economy. Conservatives also want to cut taxes on money reinvested in Canada. I hope the House will adopt this report.”
“Mr. Speaker, what measures would we propose? There are a lot that I could list, but I think the simplest thing to do would be to reference the report that I highlighted in my speech and that we tried to get the House to adopt this morning. The 10th report of the human resources committee has close to 20 recommendations that provide specific, concrete proposals, many of which came from Conservatives but were endorsed by all parties, for unleashing the economy, for fixing some of the issues in the immigration system, for unleashing training Canadian young people for Canadian jobs so they have the opportunity to get ahead, and for how exactly to promote home construction near where jobs are. These are solutions that we put forward in our Conservative youth jobs plan and our economic action plan. Just to give one example, we proposed in the last election to have no capital gains tax for dollars that were immediately reinvested in Canada. Proposals like that to promote significant reinvestment in Canada are part of the large number of solutions we have put forward at different times. I would encourage the member to read the 10th report of the human resources committee. I hope we will be able to come back to it, because it contains the critical solutions we need for addressing youth unemployment.”
