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

During the election campaign Reformers said we would cut spending, balance the budget and then get rid of the GST. The Prime Minister said he would scrap the GST. He said: "We hate it and we will kill it".

Does the Deputy Prime Minister and her government still adhere to this policy?
