Kootenay-Columbia MP Rob Morrison June 8 joined with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and fellow party members, as well as the Bloc Quebecois, in voting against Bill C-47 (federal budget).

“Today I voted against the government’s inflationary budget. This budget represents $67 billion in new inflationary spending. Conservatives introduced 904 amendments on Friday to do what we could to stand up for struggling small businesses and families. However, Conservatives were outvoted by the NDP-Liberal’s costly coalition,” Morrison stated.

What does this budget mean for Canadians?

“Billions more of inflationary spending, higher interest rates and a Canada that for far too many will become unaffordable,” Morrison said, adding, “Conservative demands for a balanced budget, lower inflation and lower interest rates were ignored. We are calling on Jagmeet Singh and his NDP Caucus to stop stifling the voice of Canadians and return democracy to the Canadian people.”

The budget passed with a vote of 177 for to 146 against and is now passed over to the Senate.

“Conservatives are a government in waiting that will see Canadians bring home powerful paycheques with lower taxes, so hard work pays off again. Bring home lower prices, by ending inflationary carbon tax one, carbon tax two, and deficit spending that drives up inflation and interest rates. Bring homes people can afford, by removing government gatekeepers to free up land and speed up building permits.

“Only Conservatives can bring home a country that works for people who work. We must bring back the common sense of common people. Hope is on the horizon,” MP Morrison concluded.
