This week, both the Liberal government and the Conservatives said no to an NDP proposal to put people first, ahead of rich corporations.
Canadians deserve a government that’s on their side, a government that is willing to stand up for them against rich interests and powerful friends.
For far too long, rich corporations have had someone on their side — and Canadians have been paying the price. Rich corporations and the wealthiest are paying less and less while many Canadians are finding it harder and harder to get by.
It is clear corporate executives and their lobbyists have had an undue influence over the government of Canada, to the detriment of the interests of everyday Canadians.
Our motion called on every Member of Parliament to stop rigging the system to work in favour of the richest people and the biggest corporations.
Instead of corporate tax breaks and spending millions of dollars to help a rich company buy fridges, we should recover that money and invest it to make the life of Canadians more affordable.
Our message is clear. It’s time to put people first.
