Burlington MP Karina Gould may not be a Cabinet Minister but that doesn’t mean she is sitting in the House of Commons as a Back Bencher with nothing to do.
Yesterday, she rose in the House saying:
Burlington MP Karina Gould speaking in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on Finance, in relation to Bill C-4, an act respecting certain affordability measures for Canadians and another measures.
The committee has studied the bill and has decided to report the bill back to the House with amendments.
Bill C-4 (2025) – Affordability Measures
-
Income Tax:
Reduces the lowest marginal tax rate from
15% to 14.5% for the 2025 tax year and to 14% for subsequent years. -
First-time Home Buyers:Introduces a new GST/HST rebate for first-time home buyers on new or substantially renovated homes.
-
Carbon Pricing:Amends the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act and Fuel Charge Regulations, which could include legislative repeal of the consumer “carbon tax”.
-
Elections Act:Updates the regime for how federal political parties handle personal information, aiming for a national, uniform, and exclusive system that would preempt provincial privacy laws.
15% This is not a small potatoes task.

Here’s what the Lieberals are offering Canadians and what our MP will never admit to telling you.
They/she are going to saddle each individual Canadian with an additional $2500 in long term, that is $10,000 of more debt for a family of 4, you will basically be paying the interest on that for as long as you live. This is in addition to the interest of $1,300 each Canadian pays on the current debt annually.
This will likely increase as our credit rating deteriorates, this is what the Bank of Canada and Parliamentary Budget Officer is raising alarm bells about recently.
Lieberals will tell you we are better off than our G7 counterparts, this is like a 300 lb person saying his weight is under control when is friends are 400 lbs to use the analogy of the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
In exchange the Lieberals will reduce taxes by ½ present on the first $40,000 of income, or $200/year, while increasing the industrial carbon tax, increasing tax on gasoline through the “clean fuel standard” (consumer carbon tax in disguise) and fueling inflation further by expanding the money supply through more debt.
Note to Liberal voters, math does not lie and the poor will get poorer with this budget.
Amazing how these “Trudeau Sunny Ways”types can spin.No more Carbon Tax!!!
No more carbon tax?!?! Actually, in the very near future, I expect that Carney will raise the industrial carbon tax which business will pass on in the form of higher prices. In essence, Canadian consumers will still pay the carbon tax except that Canadians will no longer receive a rebate. And Canadian voters actually believe that Carney is getting rid of the carbon tax—you can’t make this stuff up!!!
What is even more unbelieveable is that Canadians are outraged when Trump imposes a tariff on Canadian goods making them more expensive, less competitive, resulting in less output and rising unemployment. But these same Canadians don’t care when the Canadian government does the same thing by imposing carbon taxes on business!!!!!!
