Government borrowing and spending goes up, private borrowing and spending goes down. There is no wealth creation. It\u2019s like taking a bucket of water out of the shallow end of a swimming pool and emptying it in the deep end, nothing happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to offer an ambitious tax plan to unleash Canada\u2019s productive forces, boost private investment, increase productivity, create jobs and have higher wages for Canadians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time to stop taking billions of dollars out of the private sector, just to redistribute them through subsidies. A rational economic policy will instead lower taxes for all businesses. It will leave more of this money into the hands of entrepreneurs and investors, and let them decide how to spend it and invest it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20191023095831\/http:\/\/maximebernier.com\/tax_plan_speech\">Click here to read the full speech.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAXIME BERNIER ANNOUNCES AN AMBITIOUS PLAN TO UNLEASH CANADA\u2019S PRODUCTIVE FORCES September 20, 2016 For Immediate Release TORONTO \u2013&nbsp;Maxime Bernier, Leadership Candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada, announced his plan to increase Canada\u2019s productivity and prosperity.
