Mr. Speaker, given the member for Carleton's speech, the Conservatives sound pretty nervous about the next election. Out of their fear, they are resorting to making up complete falsehoods to try to scare Canadians into voting for them. That is quite the political stance, \u201cPlease vote for us or we will scare you into it.\u201d

\n

Getting back to the member's speech, Conservatives will not listen to the IMF, the OECD or the Government of Canada's independent statistics. They have been forced to rely on the phony Fraser Institute, where they cherry-pick the numbers. The fact is that Canadians are paying less under our government, and two-earner families are paying less.

\n

In fact, the only group that taxes were raised on was the middle\u2014sorry, the top 1%. The top 1% was the only group that taxes were increased on. Will the members opposite and the Conservatives finally acknowledge it is the richest 1% they are really standing up for?

Si l'on s'en tient au discours du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Carleton, monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il semble que la perspective des prochaines \u00e9lections rende les conservateurs tr\u00e8s nerveux. En cons\u00e9quence, ils se servent d'arguments compl\u00e8tement faux pour faire peur aux Canadiens et les pousser \u00e0 voter en leur faveur. C'est tout \u00e0 fait leur tactique politique: \u00ab S'il vous pla\u00eet, votez pour nous, sinon, on va tellement vous faire peur que vous allez le faire. \u00bb

\n

Pour en revenir au discours du d\u00e9put\u00e9, les conservateurs ne veulent rien savoir des statistiques ind\u00e9pendantes du FMI, de l'OCDE, ou du gouvernement du Canada. Ils s'en remettent alors \u00e0 celles de l'Institut Fraser \u2014 institut bidon \u2014, qu'ils choisissent selon leur convenance. Le fait est que, sous ce gouvernement, les Canadiens et les familles \u00e0 deux revenus paient moins d'imp\u00f4ts.

\n

En fait, le seul groupe dont les imp\u00f4ts ont \u00e9t\u00e9 augment\u00e9s est celui de la classe\u2026 pardon, celui des Canadiens repr\u00e9sentant le centile le plus riche. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face et les conservateurs vont-ils finalement reconna\u00eetre que c'est le 1 % le plus riche qu'ils d\u00e9fendent vraiment?
