Canada needs to scrap the capital gains tax and slash corporate taxes as a way to enhance economic growth, Conservative leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier said Tuesday.
The veteran Conservative MP of Calgary Forest Lawn recently tossed his hat into the ring for party leadership, based on a platform of diversity and inclusion.
Since announcing his bid to replace Stephen Harper, Bernier has angered farmers by coming out in favour of ditching the supply management system that currently governs milk, eggs and poultry.
The Beauce MP, now a candidate for Conservative leadership, was once quoted in La Presse saying, "there is, in fact, no scientific consensus" on climate change.
