What the Liberal government has failed to do is address and respond to the North American reality where our largest trading partner and competitor is cutting taxes and rolling back regulations. Instead, the government is increasing red tape and taxes, which is putting Canada in a competitive disadvantage. Nothing could be worse than the government's tax on everything. For example, there is massive carbon tax, which, by the way, is going to do absolutely nothing to reduce GHGs. The Conference Board of Canada estimates that at $200 per tonne, carbon emissions would be reduced by just 1.5%. By contrast, under Stephen Harper, when we took a responsible sector-by-sector approach, we reduced GHGs by 3.1%.</p>",

Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral n'a pas r\u00e9agi \u00e0 la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 nord-am\u00e9ricaine actuelle, c'est-\u00e0-dire que notre principal partenaire commercial et concurrent r\u00e9duit les imp\u00f4ts et all\u00e8ge la r\u00e9glementation. Pour sa part, le gouvernement alourdit les formalit\u00e9s administratives et les imp\u00f4ts, ce qui rend le Canada moins attrayant. Il n'y a rien de pire que de tout taxer, comme le fait le gouvernement. J'en donne pour exemple l'\u00e9norme taxe sur le carbone qui, en passant, ne contribuera absolument en rien \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre. Selon le Conference Board du Canada, \u00e0 200 $ la tonne, les \u00e9missions de carbone ne diminueront que de 1,5 %. En revanche, sous Stephen Harper, apr\u00e8s avoir adopt\u00e9 une approche sectorielle responsable, nous avons r\u00e9duit les \u00e9missions de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre de 3,1 %.</p>"
