Gerald Keddy MP - Member's Statement - April 21, 2010

Mr. Speaker, today the IMF forecasted that Canada will lead the G7 in growth this year and next. This follows an OECD report which also said that Canada will lead the G7 in growth. What is more, since July 2009 Canada has created almost 180,000 new jobs. All of this is proof that Canada's economic action plan is working. However, the global economic recovery remains fragile and our top priority must be to stay the course. What is the Liberals' top priority? It is to kill jobs with a GST hike, a new carbon tax and increase business taxes. In case the Liberals' agenda was unclear, the Liberal finance critic cleared up any confusion when he said, The era of tax cuts is over. While the Liberals plot new tax hikes, our Conservative government will continue to lower taxes and create jobs.
