On the broader issue of tariffs, your budget says that some tariff reductions in this bill will “lower prices for Canadian families”—that's on page 223—“...help sustain a higher quality of life for hard-working Canadian families”—that's page 9—and “help reduce the gap in retail prices that Canadian consumers pay compared to those in the U.S.”
Your budget actually increases tariffs by $250 million; that's the net increase. Do you accept, based on the logical corollary of your own words, that the tariff increases in budget 2013 by rate will, one, raise prices for Canadian families, two, reduce the quality of life of hard-working Canadian families, and three, help increase the gap in retail prices that Canadian consumers pay compared to those in the U.S.?
