Mr. Speaker, I would calmly remind the Minister of Finance that, based on our calculations, which he has not contradicted, our 10-point proposal would amount to about $15 billion in cuts and savings of all kinds and in new taxes that would make rich Canadians pay their fair share, if they do not already. I would invite him to reassess our proposals.
I put my supplementary question to the Deputy Prime Minister. Does she intend to reprimand her finance minister, as the Prime Minister did yesterday on the issue of high interest rates, so that the finance minister will reject the idea of a surtax that would hit all taxpayers, which would be totally inconsistent with the Prime Minister's own election commitment?
