Course, thank you for taking the time and i will think all of you for your interest in the center. [applause] stick i used to be chaired the quebec profession have a lot of experience. I know we can do more to help that. Harper. Im not sure how you have a secret meeting. I know you mentioned it. Under the first 10 years b. C. Family costs rise. It went down by nearly 50 and for the first few years of office they cut back immigration levels. People understand the liberal party talks again but didnt deliver. We 2. 5 million newcomers who are overwhelmingly contributing and their entrepreneurs, family people growing our economy, working hard and this is one of the most positive things we are able to control illegal immigration to have the best record on success in immigration anywhere in the world. Mr. Harper has demonstrated over the past week in the case of refugees, canada is not doing enough and this is something mr. Harper has unfortunately done a number of times. He loves to talk about standing up against tyrant and peterson terrorists. Family is fighting to keep their families together, hoping for a better life than they make it to canada. Mr. Harper takes away their health care. The fact is we need to once again be a country open and welcoming. We dont take that as the excuse to close their doors. In years past the Prime Minister brought in tens of thousands of vietnamese boat people whether other governments welcomed in people to contribute to the country, and we need to be an open generous country, not naive come and make sure were doing security right but not an excuse to do less than we should than the vast majority of canadians feel we should. Mr. Harper, lets bring it back. Limit correct the record. First of all, the fact of the matter is we do not take away health care. On the contrary the only time we removed to desmond had clearly bogus claimants refused and they do not offer them a Better Health care plan than that is not true, mr. Harper. Canadians agree with. This remains one of the largest countries in the world. I is that we will bring in more. These guys wouldve had in the last debate during open borders and hundreds of thousands of people coming without any security document. That would have been an enormous mistake. Fears of others, fears of communities. We have a Prime Minister who lets go to mr. Mulcair. Canadians want a Prime Minister who understand the sense of urgency we all feel when we see syria. Unfortunately they fear mongering. Any of the parties opened the door without any regard. Rick hillier who is no less an authority, former chief of Defense Staff last week said weve got to stop using security concerns as an excuse to do nothing. Mr. Harper, what do you stop using security excuse as a pretense to do not mean. Nobody wants to let anybody in. We are bringing in more quickly. We are providing support because under the refugee policy, the vast majority will remain in those countries and need our assistance. Those are the things were doing. 46,000 over the next four years. Thats the united nations. That is not the reckless roach. [inaudible] canada has done more in the past. We need to do more right now. The next topic is housing. Mr. Trudeau, canadians have been on it are awaiting binge to to buy more expensive homes. What would she do to guard against the housing bubble . For many canadians come at the entire security is in their home. Is there saving and retirement. When it to make sure while housing prices rise, incomes are rising as well. Middleclass canadians believe their job are giving them better and better salaries that they can get raises. We need to create Economic Growth at the same pace as house values and that is not what mr. Harper is delivered. There are many other canadians facing challenges around housing because they cant find rental houses to the liberal party has a plan to increase investment in home can section of rental units to help seniors at the cost of rent by increasing gis and making sure we give people support needed to get their homes in on that economic security. Would you restrict Foreign Ownership of Residential Homes . One of the tngs we see his concerns on that. The fact is we dont have enough accurate data to understand whats happening. The reason is mr. Harper is chosen to cut and that leaves us with less understanding. The liberal party is committed to restoring to ensure we have the kind of data to respond like you speak of peer but we need to be with municipalities to address challenges faced like vancouver or toronto but the challenges felt across the country and struggling to find rental housing and need help to get the economic ladder that has been there for canadians that hasnt been over the past 10 years. Mr. Mulcair, what would you do to displease metaclasses high mortgage and high property taxes. The first thing i canadians should recall is the last time liberals were in power they canceled canadas National Housing strategy. Its also worth knowing 35,000 homeless in canada right now. What we would do and i gave an example earlier of quality affordable childcare. Heritage around to anothers goodies, parents pay over 20,000 a year and young people today have the largest that. They were thinking of having a say in it but they look at the cause of balancing their life and family and work. At six every difficult. Leucovorin in the pockets of quality affordable child care and bring in as a model for others with regard to the 100,000 people the federal minimum wage of 15 an hour. Open florida mr. Harper. No doubt some people are over extended. The housing stories of positive stories in this country. Look around the world where there have been financial and other crashes. A lot of it centered around the Housing Market in canada the leasing homeownership arise because people have been able to take advantage of lower Interest Rates when their child process is solid and good in incomes growing. Thats a positive canadians story we should celebrate. How to read the unstable Global Economy continue to protect that Going Forward . Legally specific and sensitive we bring forward and improvements to the home buyers plan and the contributions to allow people to save and invest more in their homes. What we do not need when our economy is threatened his tax increases on the ordinary canadian families and they are not good for homeowners. He hasnt been able to get it done for 10 years. So we know how to grow the economy. We invest in the economy once again. Interest rates are low, debt to gdp is slow and Economic Growth has been flat. When you do kick starter, midoctober youre going to do so people can get better jobs and afford their homes. That is where we help. Mr. Mulcair talking about childcare effect of a young family with a 2yearold doesnt childcare or eight years from now when their kid in grade five. They need it right away. Mr. Mulcair is not making investments. We know right now to invest in the future of this country. You could make jokes all you like. This is canadians having trouble making a meet and you are offering a natural minimum wage that will not touch 99 . You had 13 years the last time you were in power to get to childcare. They created zero. The least we can say is that wasnt a priority. Quality affordable child care if the province has taken billions of dollars. What message do you get to no one else today trying to get on the property run . Weve got a Prime Minister who thinks its a good idea that a bungalow in a lot of suburbs in places like vancouver and toronto was totally out of reach. Look at the cost of major cities. It is out of control. At the same time, mr. Harper said okay. How do you rent a house you can afford to buy in the first place . Will put affordable quality child care and give her raise to 100,000 people earning the federal minimum wage or less. And 15 an hour minimum wage is not only good for them. Its a good fit to do the same thing and bring up the living wage because somebody who works full time shouldnt living in poverty. Mr. Mulcair, ive spoken to an awful lot working minimum wage. Coffee shops in the grocery checkout lines and you give them false hope. Mr. Trudeau we have people working in banks you have [inaudible conversations] earning the minimum wage mr. Trudeau voted for this september 22nd. Now hes campaigning against it. The false promises you were making [inaudible conversations] the election is showing it. We are not reinvent home renovation tax credit to help families reach and build their first home in the first time home buyers plan. Weve done a lot of things to encourage homeownership in terms of rising cost and the possibility foreign speculation we are prepared to act on that if the data shows that its really a problem. We are doing things to help canadian families. We deliver to canadian families. Now we enhance it. We increased adoptions. [inaudible] [inaudible] mr. Harper and mr. Mulcair agree on one thing. Mr. Harper is used to be checked to millionaires because they have children. We dont think thats fair. We are going to stop sending checks to people who dont need it civic and send larger checks to families who do need it in the 315,000 kids out of poverty. That will make a significant difference in the lives of people who need it. You dont have enough money. Final topic. We address this to you first. You say you will raise Corporate Tax rate from 15 to 17 . What economic rather than political reason justifies your decision. Mr. Reid and mr. Harper have a singleminded approach printable send conservatconservat ives believe tens of billions of dollars in tax reductions to the most profitable corporations was the way to go. Hasnt worked out so well. There are 300,000 more people unemployed today than when the first recession hit. They go back to something resembling their fair share. It would be less than it was under mr. Harpers conservatives and well below under the liberals. We are asking all canadians to pay their fair share. At the same time we are not going to wait. We will produce taxes on canvas job creators and create 80 of new jobs and that we think is a good idea. We will also close loopholes because those are the types that exist for the rich. Or corporations moved money elsewhere. The loser balanced budget and revenue. Thats what he worked at the same time against tax savings. Weve had cases or other authorities and countries have given canadians using illegal tax havens and mr. Harper has done nothing about that. The nep will make sure the wealthiest pay their fair share. When we made that announcement, we let that the successive years of promises by the liberals talking about millennial goals to raise children out of poverty. In a country as wealthy as canada, hundreds of thousands go to school every morning. We will take 500 million for stock option tax loophole kids and dedicate dollar for dollar to let children and families out of poverty. Direct action to act on the problem others have talked about. Can and i will start paying something resembling their fair share and its high time they did. Their approach has failed and it doesnt work and well change it. Mr. Harper, you wont raise taxes. Have you raise federal revenue . As you know weve cut business taxes and Corporate Tax revenues are rising because we have an environment that attracts investment. I go back to a mulcair is saying. Why is the Canadian Federation and other experts and his rental cost job loss because in fact he raises taxes and the sameness everywhere. They claim they will bring in billions of spending dollars through tax increase and we end up with job loss. Thats what we had with the nep in British Columbia and we see exactly the same story inoperative. A round of layoffs because of oil prices and that the business tax increase and then stable economy we have competitive tax rates. This is something we need to protect our economy and create creating jobs. Permanent deficits do not create jobs. Mr. Harper is talking about the round of layoffs in alberta and that is why we have a plan to invest kind of support now theres an opportunity and thousands of people are out of work with skills to work in building our country right now and in the years to come. On taxes weve been very clear. Canadians pay enough in taxes except the middle class to pay less taxes and the wealth he is canadian should pay more. I will do what my two opponents will not. However as taxes on the wealthiest 1 silica and cut them for the middle class. Mr. Mulcair likes to talk about fair share. He will do nothing to tax Bank Executives who get high salaries because cutting Corporate Taxes will hire more people and their economy. We will lose jobs. Mr. Trudeaus very first vote in parliament seven years ago was to back mr. Harpers Corporate Tax giveaway and one of his most recent and last votes in parliament was to vote for c. 51 which seriously compromises the right and freedoms. Thats leadership. You are playing the same politics of division and fear. Mr. Harper wants to talk about and pretend suddenly went for it that the charter in a police state. Both of those are politics of fear they refuse to accept because they need to protect canadian security and defend rights and freedom. On taxes we have a plan to lift 315,000 kids out of poverty by you rethink child benefit payment to families who need it and we will ask the wealthiest to pay more so they can lower class taxes for the middle class. This is something neither mr. Mulcair now mr. Harper will do. Its not about politics. Its doing the right thing, recognizing the tenures of mr. Harper hasnt been the growth canadians need and they are actually going to create opportunities for themselves, families, communities. Absolutely not. Let me be clear. The federal tax burden on Small Business is down 40 will go down further. We brought in things like 11 million canadians are benefiting from. Over 6 million adults benefit from that. We bring in a home renovation tax credit to millions of people will be able to use and we enhance savings plans registered disability savings. The broadest tax cut you could bring in with every single canadian. This is why the New York Times ran an article that compared disposable income moving ahead of everyone else is falling a hind because we make sure we have more money in peoples pockets and we are the only party not talking about raising taxes Going Forward and this is the kind of player we need and then comes in and hampers employer with an enormous payroll tax increase. Mr. Harper is talking about this as well in common. We just thought that almost 165 . Canadians are more indebted now than its ever been. We need a government to create opportunities for canadians by investing in child care spaces, by investing in support for flood planes mitigation, Green Infrastructure that will create the jobs Going Forward that we know we need. We have a plan to invest. We are going to run modest deficit the next three years because byron has never been cheaper because of lowInterest Rates, debt to gdp ratio is helping going lower and the economy is flat and canadian new jobs. We have a plan to kickstart the economy to make it easier for people who want to join the middle class to succeed. Thats what we are putting forward and right now neither mr. Harper were mr. Mulcair has a plan to do that. Mr. Mulcair said he puts it off. Mr. Trudeau recently set a large percentage of Small Business owners were taxed cheap. The Small Business owner should be reminded to all of us create more than 80 of the new jobs in our country. They deserve a tax break that will help create jobs. Or you are selecting 500 million. That is not the experience ive seen. Thank you. While the leaders catch their breath, we will move to the second part of the evening. This has a different page to it. It is that in the old days the electorate is to choose their representatives, but not data becomes more sophisticated, politicians are able to choose as well as ignore key demographics. It affects everything from policy to selection to the politicians choose to talk to. Wish me luck as i try to push the waiters off their nose and the opportunity to ask themselves more thoroughly and hopefully with fewer interruptions from others. I will ask each later a specific question followed by an exchange between myself and not later before turning to open debate. They had no prior knowledge of these questions. Well start with mr. Mulcair. Do you lead a party that is never ran the country. Why should the electorate and the National Economy to you . Thank you commend david. That is the key question after 150 years of being told we have no choice what this scandal we have two alternate route to the conservative and when we get tired, for the first time in our history theres another choice. According to canadas own finance department has the best record for a balanced budget. Tommy douglas took over the providence of saskatchewan and bankruptcy and ran 17 consecutive balanced budgets and brought in medicare. I come from a family of 10 kids. We lived within our means. We took care of each other. Those are the values that have guided me as a father, grandfather and has been. Im proud of the saudis that guide me in the future. We are a party people are top priority. We brought in medicare and affordable quality child care across canada. Her biography is entitled strength of conviction. Is your determination not simply opportunism way . It is something that reflects how ive been as a public administrator. At that in public life for 35 years. I practiced law as a lawyer for 10 years but ive always serve the public give my wife catherine is a psychologist who works in longterm care. Our older son is a police officer. Her youngest son is a college professor. I think there is no more noble calling. I want to make sure we do the right name for my granddaughter goes to university she does not devour the level young people are today. I dont want to do like mr. Trudeau and that the massive debt. But the determination for a balanced budget is something that is a challenge to the fabric. Our fabric understa
