Okay.
Mr. Boucher, your message was extremely strong and clear: the time has come to deliver the goods. I'm not here to defend the government.
However, this morning we heard a discussion about how the federal government could reduce Canadians' taxes, the GST or income taxes. In addition, the government could tell the provinces that it has created the room so that they can occupy it by increasing their taxes, if they wish. As a result, and since the federal government has cut its taxes, we could conclude that that's one way of correcting the fiscal imbalance, at least in part. However, that causes a problem: the government promised during the election campaign that it would cut taxes and the GST for citizens, not for the provincial governments.
From your viewpoint, would such an action be a good one in reducing the fiscal imbalance, or not?
