Mr. Speaker, I will complain. I want to know if the Deputy Prime Minister would resign. Why does the Prime Minister stand up on her behalf? She should answer the question.
Mr. Speaker, listen to these quick quotes: "I would abolish the GST", the finance minister, 1990. "I hate it and I will kill it", the Prime Minister, 1994. "The tax should hit the whole works, from food to pharmaceuticals", the Minister for International Trade, 1989.
Does the Deputy Prime Minister think that Canadians will be that gullible as to believe this new GST really kills and abolishes the old GST? If she would not mind, would she answer the first question as well?
