mr. harper and mr. mulcair agree on one thing. mr. rper is used to be checked to millionaires because they have children. we don't think that's fair. we are going to stop sending checks to people who don't 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 don't 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 single-minded approach printable send conservatconservat ives believe tens of billions of dollars in tax reductions to the most profitable corporations was the way to go. hasn't 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. harper's conservatives and well below under the liber

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.

mr. harper's uccb checks to millionairs. that will make a significant difference in the lives of people who need and neither mr. harperle -- >> you don't have enough money to fund your -- >> first off in debate is taxation. you say you will raise corporate tax rate from the current 15% to 1wi # 7%. -- 17%. what economic justifies your decision? >> tens of billions of taks -- tax reductions in canada, that hasn't worked out so well. there are 300,000 more people unemployed today then when the first recession hit. so, yes, canada largest corporations aread going to pay their fair share. it will still be less than the average, well below but we are asking canadians to pay their fair share. we are going, to start right away. we are goingat to start right ay to reduce the taxes on canada's job creators, small and medium size businesses create 80% of the jobs in this country. we think that's a good idea. we are going to close loopholes and effectively pay more. >> you lose revenue. >> mr. harper has done nothing about that. we are

mr. harper. p.m. harper: not only are we pursuing a large long-term if a structure plan, but this year, we are proceeding with a $6 billion plan to eliminate the federal infrastructure deficit entirely going forward. that is what we are doing right now. we are doing that with borrowing money and without raising taxes. esther trudeau says he will raise taxes. as for mulcair's plan is the same old playbook. we saw in british columbia and ontario and we are seeing it an operative. home much -- a whole bunch of spending and we can raise that on taxes on corporations and people. he put people out of work and slow the economy and kill jobs. that is the reality of the ndp plan wherever it has been tried. you're wrong about that. mr. mulcair is not going to raise taxes on the wealthiest canadians . only the liberal party will to give a tax cut for the middle-class. we will not raisecair: taxes on individual candidates. we will ask large corporations to pay their fair share. they are the only canadians who

mr. harper has only himself to blame. we've got to start adding value to our resources in canada. >> we've gotten off topic on like to bring in mr. trudeau for his thoughts on the canada just relationship with that's what i want us to focus on in this section spent our relationship with this is the most important foreign relationship that canada has. county prime minister can work with the president at the top of a list of what they prime minister needs to get right. they are our most valuable and trusted ally. they are our nearest neighbor and there are most important trading partner. how we engage to ensure that our jobs for canadians and economic growth is deeply wrapped up in how we are getting along. unfortunately mr. harper has narrowed the entire relationship with a tray to a single point around the keystone xl pipeline, and he went to new york and criticized and harangued the president. that is not the kind of relationship we need because not only does it not get the outcome was decided tha of getting an approval f

mr. harper's minister said they were terrorists. ible] [speaking french] [speaking french] >> we already announced more, we are doing more. we have to do things responsibly .. [speaking french] [speaking french] >> i want to bring mr. mulcair back in for our remaining time. [speaking french] >> translator: it is extreme difficult to your a prime minister of a country who says that is one of the first refugees and say that the summary is about all the others won titles on the newspapers. help people fling a tragedy on a scale not seen since the second world war. anybody is going to take more than it did candidate to help them is about chasing headlines. i find that disrespectful but only for the people of this stage but i think everyone of us wants to secure security. it was disrespectful to canadians and to canadian values. [applause] >> thank you, mr. mulcair. >> our next topic. we all know it's taken on new urgency with a large-scale recruitment of foreign fighters. in response, the parliament passed the antiterrorism legislation t

mr. harper has not stepped up. host: let's go to open floor. mr. harper. p.m. harper: if i could respond to that. you are making record investments in our infrastructure right now, including a federal infrastructure program rolling out across the country. the reason mr. trudeau is running deficits is because he went around the country and promised more money than he had and found out taxing a few wealthy people doesn't cover that is unknown is trying to run saying deficits are a good thing. we did a lot of work to make sure we came out of deficits without cutting social programs. this is a guarantee to people. when we've lowered your taxes, they will stay down at investments we make our sustainable and when mr. trudeau gets us off the anchor of a balanced budget for no reason, that goes on forever and gets worse and that's not a risk you are our economy can afford. m.p. mulcair: you have run deficits in good years, bad years. the only time you said deficits are not run is in election years. the thought of the matter is you stood on stage is like this, will get c

mr. harper and mr. 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 infrastructure bank

mr. harper, and the question is on jobs. e is facing structural rather than cyclical change, do you have a job's plan for industry beyond taking things out of the ground? p.m. harper: absolutely. let me begin by saying that because we are in southern alberta, i want to take a moment to give my condolences to give blanchette and the dunbar families on the terrible deaths of haley and terry. these are obviously senseless acts and i know that everybody here across the country, our thoughts and prayers are with those families. approach is multifaceted. there'll several things we're doing. the centerpiece of our plan is to make sure we are making a practical investment that are affordable while keeping our taxes down and keeping our budget balanced, but there are number of things we're doing including a particular intervention in the labor market to make sure we're china people for the jobs that are available and orienting our policies that way and making sure the are opening up trade markets. we sign more trade agreements that ev

mr. harper, mr. , we wishmr. trudeau you well and we know you have a common interest in doing the best for canada, just a different way of doing it. stay with us. we are carrying the postdebate later. joint is nothaver to begin the postdebate debate. thank >> posted by congressman john conyers with a focus on policing in the minority communities by von c-span2 at 11 a.m. eastern. at tonight's town hall in rochester, new hampshire, candidate donald trump fielded a question from a man who called muslims "a problem in this country." and "we know our president is one." we have a problem in this country and it's called muslims. we know our current president is one. he's not even american. but anyway, we have training where they want to kill us. that's my question. when can we get rid of them? looking at a lot of different things. they are saying bad things are happening and we will look at that and plenty of other things. see all of donald trump's comments of the town hall in rochester in one hour here on c-span or an

mr. harper. and hot. i threw in some extra garlic puffs as well. thanks, pal. thank you, mr. harper.

mr. harper. corruption has increased and that's part of his legacy but also it has become a more divisive place to a relationships with the provinces are more devices and meaner. i come out of provincial politics. i know it's part of my job if i become prime minister since sit down with the provincial premiers to work with them on important issues facing them. at the things we want to bring forward ike quality, affordable childcare. >> one of the things i think is clear is that i disagree with these two gentlemen on a number of things. but the main thing i disagree with him on his lack of ambition for our country to mr. harper wants you to think that are just as a possible. that's not true. in this country better is always possible. mr. mulcair talks of making things better but isn't going to act on it because he has no plan to build the economy we need. >> thank you very much. so ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. this much-anticipated globe and mail debate on the economy comes to an end t

mr. harper, you referred to going to a political rally and first amendment rights.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 behavior. and

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
