The actions of Michael Ignatieff and his unelected Liberal Senators continue to put Canadians at risk from violent criminals and drug dealers.

Earlier this year, our Conservative government introduced Bill C-15 to better protect Canadians from drug dealers that prey on children. C-15 passed through the House of Commons before being sent to the Senate.

Before adjourning for the summer, Senators had the opportunity to pass our Conservative government’s Bill C-15 into law.  Liberal Senators moved to block the bill from passing, putting political games ahead of public safety.

Ignatieff’s Senators’ actions mean children are left at risk from drug dealers.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, our Conservative government has been working to improve the safety of Canadians. Currently our government has 13 Justice and Public Safety bills awaiting passage in Parliament.

Because of these unelected, unaccountable Liberal Senators, our actions to make communities safer are on hold. C-15 could have been passed a month ago. Now, Canadians have to wait for better protection. Once again, Ignatieff’s political games are putting Canadians at risk.

Homeowners who are contemplating renovations have six months left to take advantage of the Home Renovation Tax Credit and save hundreds of dollars on their income taxes, Prime Minister Stephen Harper reminded Canadians today.

“There has never been a better time to renovate your home,” said the Prime Minister.  “This new tax credit will help homeowners who renovate this year save on their taxes.  In addition, these renovations will often lead to reduced energy costs or increases in the value of your home.  Best of all, every time Canadians invest in renovations, they are also helping create construction and building-supplies jobs in their local communities.”

The Prime Minister visited an Ottawa-area hardware store that is participating in a nationwide campaign to inform Canadians about how to apply for the Home Renovation Tax Credit.  Thousands of stores across Canada have already signed up to promote this innovative new tax credit to Canadian consumers.

A key component in Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the Home Renovation Tax Credit provides a 15% income tax credit on eligible home renovation expenditures for work performed or goods acquired between January 27, 2009 and February 1, 2010.  The credit may be claimed on expenditures exceeding $1,000 but not more than $10,000 and will provide up to $1,350 in tax relief.
