The Conservative party outlined what they would like to see in the 2022 federal budget, “and unfortunately what we expect to see,” at a press conference on Thursday..“The one thing that we know is the further left the Liberals go and the more money they spend, the more expensive everything gets for Canadians,” said.Interim Conservative Leader Candice Bergen. “Canadians are much worse off today than they were six years ago.”.The MP for Portage-Lisgar, Manitoba, said in the budget, Conservatives are looking for responsible fiscal management and controlled spending, substantial tax cuts, “whether it’s.income tax, corporate tax, GST, or carbon tax,” measures to make life more affordable for Canadians, and a “serious” solution to the country’s housing crisis..“What we fear is that today’s NDP-Liberal budget will be neither reasonable nor responsible,” Bergen said. “The days of moderate Liberal budgets are over under Justin Trudeau, as the Liberal Party continues to push risky and expensive economic policies. We fear that today’s budget will be one of big NDP spending.”.According to Bergen, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ignored calls for a moderate responsible budget, even from people within his own party. “.Unfortunately, this Prime Minister isn’t listening to anyone except the NDP, which is his guarantee of power.”.Bergen also warned that anyone who disagreed with the budget would be dismissed and called names by the prime minister. The Conservatives, Bergen said, will focus on bringing Canadians together and giving them hope..“We believe the best way to unite this country again is to make life more affordable, and empower Canadians to be able to work hard to earn a living, provide for their families, and get ahead. We don’t believe that’s too much to ask for in today’s budget,” she said..When asked by reporters about the budget plan to raise surtaxes on big banks and insurance companies, Bergen said Conservatives never believe raising taxes is a good thing. She said the move would negatively impact Canada’s long-term growth and investment. “We don’t believe this is the time to increase taxes on anyone or any sector.”.In response to a question about easing Canada’s housing crisis, Bergen said the solution was encouraging the private sector to build more homes. “We absolutely believe the solution has to do with increased supply. But there are.so many roadblocks, barriers, and costs, and the federal government seems to be ignoring that,” she said..Matthew Horwood is the Parliamentary Bureau Chief of the Western Standard.mhorwood@westernstandard.news.Twitter.com/@Matt_HorwoodWS
