Conservative Member of Parliament for Richmond Hill South, Vincent Ho, released a statement on October 24 in Ottawa, calling for an “Affordable Budget” to address the severe cost-of-living crisis caused by a decade of Liberal deficits and inflationary spending.
Vincent Ho, Conservative MP for Richmond Hill South, sharply criticized the Liberal government’s decade of deficit spending, which he said has led to the worst inflation in 40 years and made life “completely unaffordable” for millions of Canadians.
“Mark Carney promised change, but under the Liberals, it’s only getting worse,” said Ho. “Young Canadians have been priced out of jobs and homes. People have sacrificed enough — it’s time to restore hope and affordability.”
Ho outlined three key priorities for what he called an “Affordable Budget for an Affordable Canada”:
Scrap hidden taxes on food – including industrial carbon taxes, the fuel standard tax, the billion-dollar packaging tax, and the so-called “inflation tax.”
Cut taxes on work, investment, and homebuilding – to strengthen paycheques and boost economic productivity.
Stop the inflation tax and reduce waste – by capping the deficit below $42 billion, unlocking resource development, and cutting wasteful bureaucracy, foreign aid, and fraudulent refugee payouts.
Ho warned that $47.6 billion in investment has already fled the country, arguing that “every dollar spent by the Carney Liberals comes directly out of Canadians’ pockets through higher taxes and inflation.”
“It’s time for action,” Ho said. “Canadians — especially our young people — deserve a government that delivers a budget restoring hope and affordability in this country.”（LJI by Rita)
