Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of the Liberal government, Canadians struggle with the cost of everyday life. Nearly half of working Canadians say they are less financially secure now than they were a year ago. The Conservatives have identified savings of more than $150 billion, nearly $10,000 per Canadian family. Our Conservative plan would lower housing by scrapping taxes on homebuilding and by pushing to speed up permits, free up land and cut fees. It would lower the cost of gas and groceries by removing federal taxes until at least Canada Day 2027. We are calling on the Prime Minister to approve the 500 projects stuck in federal permitting, repeal anti-development laws, remove the industrial carbon tax, eliminate the capital gains tax on money reinvested in Canada and get government out of the way so Canadians can build mines, pipelines, LNG plants, factories and homes. Newfoundlanders and Labradorians need lower costs, good-paying jobs and an economy that creates opportunity at home.
