I'm going to quote a passage that I'll read slowly. I know I tend to speak quickly and I want to make sure the interpretation is clear.
The site of the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party states that, last year, the auditor general [Mr. Ferguson] said that there was a $400 million deficit and that it would be better for New Brunswick if more people were working and paying less taxes. This year, the auditor general said again that the province was collecting too much tax and that the economic data did not justify higher taxes. Michael Ferguson said that he felt high taxes hinder the economy.
Did you make these comments as reported on the Progressive Conservative site?
