Our goal must be to improve opportunity and the quality of life for Canadians today and tomorrow. [...] As Canadians and businesses from coast-to-coast-to-coast struggle with increased costs and affordability concerns, the government must end its reliance on tax-and-spend policies that have resulted in new corporate taxes, such as the proposed increase to the capital gains inclusion rate and the digital services tax, which threaten investment and our vital trading relationship with the United States. [...] To achieve this goal, it is essential to make changes to the Impact Assessment Act to ensure its constitutionality and provide improved clarity on its applicability, timelines, and decision-making authority. [...] Government should provide new dispute resolution tools, including the authority for the federal cabinet to compel binding arbitration for the resolution of a labour dispute in sectors that are critical to Canada’s supply chains, including railways and ports. [...] Canada has incredible strengths in areas like aerospace, critical minerals, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence which can be leveraged to bolster our own security, and to help fill gaps in the physical and digital security architectures of our NATO allies.
