host: mr. harper? p.m. harper: we are investing about $1 billion a year in green energy efficiency technology. what we are not doing is imposing costs among consumers. we are in a fragile economy. we hear the same old story from the ndp, we will fix this somehow through raising taxes. in their platform yesterday, they put in a bunch of tax increases for the energy and mining sector. the same story we had in alberta when the ndp came to office, we somehow fix our problems to raising taxes. now i see treat people getting higher individual tax bills. people getting laid off because their employers are paying higher taxes. [indiscernible] m.p. mulcair: i will drop canada's corporate taxes by billions of dollars--if that is so good, why did we lose some any jobs?

harper has. mr. harper wants to talk about terrorists. both of those are politics of fear that the liberal party has refused to accept because we need to vote, protect canadian security and the liberal party has always done both, but on taxes we have a plan to lift 315,000 kids out of poverty by increasing child benefit payments to families who need it and we are going to ask the wealthiest to pay a little bit more so we can lower class taxes for the middle class. thisdd is something will actualy do. it's not about politics for us, it's about doing the right thing, recognizes that for the ten years of mr. harper, there hasn't been the kind of growth and canadians with money to spend, are going to create opportunities for themselves, for their families and communities. >> absolutely not. let me be clear on what we have actually done. the federal tax on small businesses down by over 40% under this government. it's going to go down further. you know, we brought in things like40 savings accounts that 111 millions canadians are benefiting from

david: mr. harper. mr. trudeau voted for this on september 22 and now he is campaigning against this. mr. trudeau: false promises you are making. you pretend a national minimum wage is a significant np it's not going to help 99% of people earning minimum wage. david: let's go to mr. harper. p.m. harper: we are not bring a home renovation tax credit. we are bringing in a home buyers plan for families to get their first home. we have done a lot of things to encourage homeownership. in this of rising costs foreign speculation, we are prepared to act on that. the data show that is really a problem. doing oring -- we are things to help canadian families. we have delivered the universal childcare benefit. we are increasing the and income tax. [crosstalk] mr. trudeau: they want to send checks to millionaires just because they have children. we do not think that's fair. we are to stop sending those checks to people who don't need it we can send checks to the people who do needed and lift 350,000 kids out of poverty

thank you, mr. trudeau. thank you. mr. harper, please. i can say for the first time in history that canada has set an economic growth, reducing at the same time greenhouse gas emissions. >> would also had a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions. as pertains to the conference coming up in pairs, when we came to office a decade ago we took a position that was considered very radical, opposed by the other parties and many in the international committee. we said that an effective international protocol had to include targets for all major emitters. at times and the americans were not a part of the previous protocol are now committed to moving forward with it. i am very optimistic. we've established targets very similar to our major partners. we're working with the united states and others, particularly the united states, on regulatory systems on greenhouse gas emissions and i'm very optimistic we reached a historical court in pairs of this year. [speaking french] >> translator: you know, he said that picky talk like that all the time a

with mr. harper now is 68. canadians want us to do a lot of better and we will. >> i want to thank you for civil debate. we are now going to move onto our second item to discuss, refugee crisis. canadians have been deeply moved by the crisis, devastating toll on women, children and families. mr. harper the question is to you, can you please explain how your latest change in policy reflects adequate response given the enormity of this crisis. >> you have 90 seconds to respond. thank you very much. ri -- i explained that we have a generous and balance with refugees and we are continuing with our military mission against, so to speak, the islamic state. >> we announced to accept 10,000 refugees on top of the additional numbers that are coming and we have resettled 15% of the refugees in the international community. we since announced our intention and, in fact, implemented changes to move those additional numbers in much more quickly, and we've been doing so in a way to make sure we pick the most vulnerable groups

harper has. mr. harper wants to talk about terrorists hiding behind every was tod mr. mulcair pretend we are in a police state. both of those are politics of your the liberal party has refused to accept because we need the votes. connect canadian security and defend our will -- our right to freedom. we have a plan to lift 315,000 kids out of poverty by increasing child benefit payments to families in need it and we are going to ask the wealthiest to pay a little more so we can lower class taxes for the middle class. this is something neither mr. mulcair nor mr. harper will actually do and it's not about politics, it's about doing the right thing. recognizing that with 10 years with mr. harper, there is not been the growth canadians need. canadians with money to spend are going to create opportunities for themselves and community. 20 be clear on what we have actually done. -- let me be clear on what we have actually done. the taxes on small businesses is down over 40% and will go down further. they brought in tax-free savings account that 11 million canadians are benefi

but mr. harper and mr. trudeau our of one mind talking about taxes the billions of dollars but when we do raise it is reasonable still way below under the liberals under the conservatives also be will make sure we close the loopholes like this stock option brought in by the liberals that will insure people are effectively paying more not the radical with the of the polls to fall back on the difference is the liberals want to raise taxes personally but we will not do that i don't think it is fair that someone looks at the pace of to see 58 .7% is gone in income tax is already. >> mr. mulcair talks about corporations are not the only ones paying their fair share they when dasheens the wealthiest 1 percent are not the look at the past 30 years the wealthiest 1 percent increase by 70% it has decrease by 32 percent. i don't think that's fair we're the only party asking that wealthiest 1 percent to pay a little more to cut the taxes. >> teeeighteen and the creation of another bank is an answer? >> it infrastructu

david: that is mr. harper's answer. to mr. mull care we go. we need to do more than surely supporting the manufacturing sector. what is your plan? m.p. mulcair: i was listening to mr. harper and he put all those eggs in one basket and drop the basket. there are now 300,000 more canadians without a job that when the recession hit in 2008 we have a plan to kickstart the economy and to grow manufacturing jobs and work on innovation. ofwant to drop the taxes these medium-size businesses because they create 80% of new jobs in this country and we also want to help people get ahead and make their lives easier. making sure that you can balance your work life and your family life is important to be. that is why one of our key planks in this platform is to bring in quality, affordable childcare across canada -- at most $15 a day. once it is fully wrapped up, that would be one million of what will childcare spaces across the company -- country. it would be good for the economy and good for women. it's almost always to women who make tough sacrifices. mr.

mr. harper was elected on a promise to change ottawa but it ottawa that changed mr. harper. corruption has increased and other what has become a more divisive place. our relationships with the provinces are more divisive and mean. i come out of provincial politics.akes -- it's my job to sit on regularly to work with them on important issues facing them and things we want to bring forward like quality affordable childcare. m.p. trudeau: one of the things i think it's clear is i disagree with these gentlemen on a number of things but the main thing i disagree with is their lack of an vision for our country. mr. harper once you to think better isn't possible. that's not true. talks about making things better but will not act on it. host: there ypu have ot. -- there you have it. the much-anticipated debate on the economy. i like to thank everyone who has joined does and made this evening possible and to the mayor in calgary for hosting us. you believe in the national debate and i'm sure you agree we got one tonight. a final word of thanks to the three leaders, mr. harper, mr. ,

mr. harper, you referred to going to a political rally and first amendment rights. i believe michael price from brennan spoke about membership lists. there is a 19158 supreme court decision, naacp versus alabama sought to compel the naacp to produce the membership list. the supreme court held they couldn't do that and didn't have the right to the list. a lot of the technologies being discussed today seem to permit the indirect securing of such information and i'm wondering what your thoughts are on the availability and advisability and the force of the first amendment argument concerning the freedom of association including the privacy of one's associations. >> i think there is a strong argument that -- that the first and fourth support each other. for the reasons you articulate and the peril of that earlier case. metadata is very informative. and the quote, unquote, metad a metadata, indicating all of the people you contacted, all of the people you contacted at a given time, how long you spoke to them, et cetera, et cetera, reveal your associations, reveal your beh

mr. ashford: mr. speaker, i rise today to honor my friend, mike harper, on his 88th birthday. mr. harper served as the c.e.o. of conning a a an agricultural giant and fortune 500 company head quartered in my district. in 1975 mike came to omaha to take the helm and presided over a massive expansion of business in nebraska. by 1987, though, nebraska was emerging from the farm crisis and feared the loss of significant corporate presence. mike personally spearheaded the effort to reform state taxes and regulations that made corporate investment burdensome. between 1975 when mike took ver and 1997 the profits soared. thanks to mike's leadership in business and politics, nebraska now has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. my district in particular enjoys a well-balanced economy, including manufacturing, agriculture, and a wide array of services. on this day i wish to rise to applaud this giant of the agriculture industry and a major contributor to the expansion and preservation of nebraska's local economy. happy birthday to mike harper. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield
