Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.

I found this quote in the October 29, 1990 edition of the Toronto Star . It reads:

I am opposed to the GST, I have always been opposed to it and I will be opposed to it always.

The Prime Minister should recognize these words, they are his own.

Will the Prime Minister finally admit that his promise to eliminate the GST in his first year of office was foolhardy and that Canadians had better get ready for a modified GST from this Liberal government with a brand new name?
