I did not criticize lowering the GST. I did not mention that in my presentation. We said that consumer taxes are generally more regressive than other taxes. It is not something that we criticized. I would not want to be misquoted.
However, in answer to a question, I mentioned that if I had to choose between reinvesting in post-secondary education through federal transfer payments and tax cuts, I would favour federal transfers.
While I have the floor, I would like to point out that we want to help Mr. Blaney go down in history. But in order to do that he would have to do more than delivering speeches on the fiscal imbalance. The fiscal imbalance actually needs to be settled, as early as the next budget.
The CSN would be pleased to contribute to our going down in history together for having settled the fiscal imbalance in Canada.
