Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We've been criticized, and we have discussed the GST cuts we've had over the last couple of years, but in 1993 part of the platform of the Liberal Party of Canada was to get rid of the GST completely. And they seem to forget that point. By the way, they promised that and never did it. Oh yes, we promised to do something and we did it. There's a complete difference there.
There was a reduction of a couple of points, but it would have been even worse if we had committed to Canadians that we were getting rid of the consumption tax, the GST, completely. Would you agree with that?
