Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. Yesterday the Deputy Prime Minister confirmed that her government would kill the GST and that the Prime Minister would live up to this promise. On October 18, 1993 the Deputy Prime Minister in a CBC town hall stated that if the GST was not abolished under a Liberal government she would resign.
If during the next year Canadians deem that the national value added tax, that very awful tax, the new GST, is just the son of the old GST under a new name and therefore not really abolished, will she still agree to resign?
