Liberal plan offers real, progressive change for Quebecers and all Canadians

October 15, 2015

MONTRÉAL – Today the Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Justin Trudeau, made clear that Liberals are offering the most progressive plan for change that will create jobs, grow our middle class, and give all Canadians a real and fair chance to succeed.

“Speaking with voters in Quebec and all across Canada, one thing remains clear: we can’t afford another ten years like the last ten years. We need progressive change now,” said Mr. Trudeau. “This election, the most progressive platform is the Liberal platform. That’s thanks to Canadians, who told us what matters most to them, and we listened.”

The Liberal Party has a real, immediate plan to grow the middle class and deliver positive change for all Canadians. A new Liberal government will introduce, as its very first bill in Parliament, a tax cut for the middle class, so that Canadians see more money on their paycheques right away. We will also introduce the Canada Child Benefit – one bigger, tax-free, monthly child benefit – in our very first budget. Nine out of ten Canadian families will be better off under our plan than under Stephen Harper’s. Liberals will ensure that middle class Canadians have more money in their pockets to save, invest, and grow the economy.

“This election, we have the chance to beat fear with hope. We have the chance to beat cynicism with hard work,” said Mr. Trudeau. “We have the chance to do for future generations what our parents and grandparents did for us by investing in the future. Mr. Harper wants Canadians to believe that better isn’t possible, and Mr. Mulcair wants us to believe that change can wait. On October 19th, together we can prove them wrong.”.blog-hero {display: none}
