Mr. Speaker, thank you very much for for
0:03
letting me speak today. I I really have
0:06
you know, I want to express how much how
0:09
disingenuous it is really for Canadians
0:11
to believe that conservatives don't
0:13
support tax cuts because conservatives
0:14
support tax cuts all the time and
0:16
everywhere. And the issue is always that
0:18
the Liberal government never goes far
0:20
enough. There's always a poison pill in
0:23
the legislation and that we we we we
0:25
just cannot let these things pass. You
0:27
know, Liberals have been very voracious
0:30
with their spending cut announcement or
0:32
with their spending promises
0:35
but there's just no verifiability
0:38
without a budget. How is the government
0:41
going to plan to spend to to fund these
0:44
expenditures? How is the government
0:46
going to support um this without
0:49
tableabling a budget? Terry Secretary.
0:52
Well, Mr. Speaker, I'm grateful for the
0:55
question. And it gives me the
0:56
opportunity to point out if there's any
0:58
disingenu ingenuity felt uh it is on
1:02
this side of the house with having
1:04
witnessed time and again conservatives
1:06
stand up and vote against affordability
1:08
measures that will save Canadians
1:10
literally thousands of dollars. In this
1:12
case, uh we encourage them to support
1:15
our income tax cut and waving GST on new
1:18
home purchases. Uh obviously uh reducing
1:21
the consumer uh carbon price is
1:24
something that they advocated for. We
1:26
have listened to Canadians and responded
1:28
in kind and we hope that we'll get the
1:30
support of Conservatives this time
1:32
around. But we're not that hopeful or
1:34
surprised when they continue their long
1:36
track record of voting against
