Mr. Speaker, during the election the Liberal Party promised to find ways to achieve tax fairness. That was then. This is now.
I have here a flyer from Revenue Canada. There is a fire sale on tax loopholes. Get them while you still can. To quote from the flyer: "Don't miss out. Take advantage of the $100,000 capital gains exemption".
This government's version of tax fairness is breaks for the rich, do not touch the private family trusts. Their version of abolish is hide and seek when it comes to the GST.
I call on the minister to explain to Canadians why he continues to protect the wealthy when even the food in the mouths of ordinary Canadians is not beyond his grasp.
