Had the motion passed, it would have provided some relief to already-struggling Canadians.
With our standard of living in decline, the last thing Canadians can afford is for their taxes to go up.
Unfortunately, the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc are more interested in pursuing their eco-radical policies than they are in helping Canadians to make ends meet.
