Weekly Wrap Up: Fighting for What Matters
Ottawa, ON — Week three of the 45th Parliament saw Conservatives take important steps to protect law-abiding Canadians, reduce taxes and bring home powerful paycheques for all.
On Monday, Conservatives led with a plan to scrap the four Liberal taxes that make groceries unaffordable for Canadians: the industrial carbon tax, the fuel standard tax, the inflation tax from Carney’s money-printing deficits and the food packaging tax on plastics.
The Prime Minister said that Canadians could judge him based on prices at the till. But even with the average family of four expected to spend $800 more on food compared to last year, the Liberals put partisanship first and voted down our motion.
New reports this week proved what Conservatives have long been saying: that every dollar the PM spends comes out of the pockets of Canadian workers, families and seniors in the form of increased taxes and inflation.
We also learned that – instead of getting out of the way to let builders build and investors invest – Mark Carney decided to absorb and expand another failed Trudeau-era project so Ottawa can pick winners and losers. All this in addition to a new defence procurement bureaucracy that will just operate on top of more existing bureaucracies.
Finally, Conservatives introduced a motion calling on the House of Commons to immediately pass Bill C-242, the Jail Not Bail Act. This important legislation will restore safe streets to our communities by finally putting violent repeat offenders where they belong – behind bars. On Monday, the Liberals will have to make a choice whether to support this crucial bill to end the crime and chaos in our streets, or fail Canadians, yet again.
Every day, Conservatives fight to restore the Canadian promise: where anyone who works hard can afford nutritious meals in a good home on a safe street, where parents don’t have to worry as their children play road hockey or run around the park.
