Good. Thank you.
That's the first time we have had you acknowledge that basic truth. When we go from that basic truth to the consequences of that truth, we have a recent report by Dale Orr, a well-known economist--not traditionally very friendly to Liberals when we were in power--who makes a number of points that follow from that very point you have just acknowledged.
He makes the following three points: one, the personal income tax cuts are really only 5% of what was stated in the budget and the speech, as a simple consequence of your admission just now that the tax rate went up and not down; two, the total tax cuts were only half of what was advertised; and three, far from 655,000 people coming off the tax rolls as a consequence of your budget, 200,000 Canadians were in fact put back on the tax rolls.
Those three points follow from the admission you just made that the tax rate went up. I'd like to ask you to acknowledge those three corollaries of the point you just acknowledged.
