Mr. Speaker, judging from what has been accomplished thus far, I think there is cause for concern about the seriousness of the government's intentions, because the only true reform carried out to date is totally inadequate. It should not even be equated with the word reform.
In the event the promised reform is carried out, will the Minister of Finance recognize that, in so far as the sales tax and income tax are concerned, the federal tax system should not encroach upon existing fields of provincial jurisdiction?
