MP Report

On October 24th Finance Minister Bill Morneau delivered the fall economic update and the Minster confirmed what we already knew; (a) the Liberals spending is out of control, and (b) they have no plan or date to pay back the billions they are borrowing or even balance the budget.

As a Member of Parliament in the Conservative Government, I took great pride in the fact that we were able to put more money back in the pockets of hard-working Canadians.  Conservatives believe the taxes should be lower for Canadians:  for businesses, families and individuals.  We created a low tax, competitive environment to drive investment and created hundreds of thousands of private sector jobs.   

Justin Trudeau and Bill Morneau intend to raise taxes on hard working middle class families, small business owners and farmers. 

Liberal Finance Minister Bill Morneau tabled the Trudeau Government’s second budget, which confirmed they have no plan for the economy, job creation, or respect for taxpayer dollars.  For the second year in a row they failed to keep their promise to only run a $10 billion deficit.  In fact they have reneged on their promise to balance the budget by 2019.  An internal document from Finance Canada now says the budget will not be balanced until 2055. Terrible news, considering the Liberals were handed a balanced budget.

During our time in Government Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Honourable Ed Fast along with a host of other people worked tirelessly for seven years to negotiate a deal.  Our team marched the ball down the field and punched it across the goal line.  The only thing left was for the Liberals to kick the point after.
 

The wind blew and the ball hit the goal posts, we needed an instant replay before Canadians knew if the point after was good.    What should have been an easy play almost turned into a fumble as they overestimated the popularity of their quarterback.
