“Liberal regulations and taxes are hurting Canadian businesses. They cause layoffs and closures, and regular Canadians pay the price. I want the Prime Minister to realize this.”

“Mr. Speaker, 11 years of Liberal management have resulted in higher taxes, more debt, more credit card spending and more regulations. The National Bank’s chief economist reminded us that the Liberals are now imposing over 320,000 regulatory requirements on Canadian businesses, while the United States is deregulating. The consequences of this are layoffs or, worse, closures. When will the Prime Minister understand that more regulations force additional costs on businesses and that Canadians are the ones paying the price?”

“Factories are closing and taxes hurt local businesses. Savoura pays 2.5 million dollars a year in carbon taxes and green fees, making it hard to compete with Mexican tomatoes. The government should cut rules and taxes instead of making new temporary fixes.”

“Mr. Speaker, what a sad state of affairs. Since January, factory closures have been on the rise. On top of losing their jobs, Canadians are footing the Liberal Party’s credit card bill. Savoura pays $2.5 million a year in carbon tax and in Éco Entreprises Québec penalties. These surcharges make it difficult to compete with tomatoes from Mexico, which travel across the entire continent. Instead of creating a new band-aid for businesses, why not streamline the regulations and give our business owners some real breathing room?”
