Kamloops MP reflects on fall parliamentary session
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod has reflected on this fall’s parliamentary session and says it’s been “plagued by many missteps on the finance file.”
“Certainly, the small business tax changes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen people in our riding so angry over what was unfair targeting in terms of the changes,” she says. “The Liberals had to back down and now they’ve introduced another version but really between that and the missteps of the finance minister in terms of how he conducted his own personal affairs were very dominant in the session.”
McLeod also gives the Trudeau Liberals a failing grade when it came to cultivating free-trade agreements.
“NAFTA is struggling and the Trans Pacific Partnership, they totally confused our trade partners in that deal and just came back from China empty-handed.”
