Perhaps to clarify a previous statement I made, I'd like to clarify the record. When I said of the average Learjet that the 1% GST cut would generate about $100,000, which is equivalent to 500,000 trips to Tim Hortons for a coffee and doughnut for the average Canadian, I missed one decimal point. It's actually five million. So the average Canadian would have to go to Tim Hortons five million times to get the sort of benefit that Canada's billionaires club received.
On November 20th, 2007. See this statement in context.
