Mr. Speaker, not only does the Minister of Finance not read his letters before signing them, but the Prime Minister does not read the documents tabled by the Official Opposition. If he did, he would know that we made ten specific proposals to implement real streamlining and saving measures to improve the government's finances. I am not talking about measures which would
hurt the unemployed and the poor, but about real saving and streamlining initiatives.
How can the Prime Minister, or his government, consider imposing such a surtax on Canadians who honestly pay their taxes, when this government has yet to act, or even show the political will to recover over $6 billion dollars in unpaid taxes from the wealthiest Canadians? Is this his definition of justice? Is this his definition of fairness?
