A tax and spend bill to cut some taxes a bit while carving out lots of special tax breaks for pet causes. The Conservatives said it won't really help growth or jobs. The Liberals said their corporate welfare and special tax favors would be great for certain favored industries.
“I'm excited about a bill that spends $6 billion on working people and unions. The opposition doesn't know what working-class people want. Working-class people want the government to spend money on their communities and families. That's what our government is doing.”
“The government should stop blocking resource projects. Just get out of the way. We need to get our natural resources produced to create jobs for youth. The government's anti-development laws are preventing a future for people in this country.”
“I'm the important minister for jobs. You aren't doing your job. If you visited the area like I do, people tell me they want us to spend money to create jobs. They want more government spending in their area. I want this bill to pass so the government can claim it is helping families.”
