This will be my last question, Mr. Chairman.
Table 5.4 of the budget, on page 201 of the English version, shows that starting in fiscal year 2008-2009, which just started on the first of this month, and over a period of just two years—two fiscal years—personal income tax is going to go up by 12%, which will be a budget increase, whereas corporate income tax is going to go down by 14% over a two-year period.
Does the minister consider this fair? Does his department have any studies to show that the GST reductions, which he and his government boast so much about, have actually benefited consumers? Or have they been absorbed by increased corporate profits?
