Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister of revenue. After the election, the minister said that he would abolish the GST within a year, but now we have learned that he will be bringing in changes, not to abolish but rather to hide the GST.
In the meantime, his department has released a flyer that we have read today. It says: "Don't miss out. Take advantage of the $100,000 capital gains exemption".
The minister has refused to close some of the tax loopholes. Why has he not agreed to eliminate tax loopholes such as the capital gains exemption and the family trusts, instead of going after the poor and the underprivileged? Maybe because he wants to increase the GST instead of abolishing it.
