Mr. Speaker, it was interesting yesterday in question period when I raised the question with the Minister of Human Resources Development whether he was actually floating a trial balloon with the idea of increasing taxes.
One of the difficulties we and I think all Canadians have is that we do not have any idea what the real intention of the government is. It keeps on talking about perhaps we should be taxed more or, as the Prime Minister says, perhaps the health act has to be completely changed, perhaps it has to be downgraded. The health minister says it will not happen and then the Prime Minister turns around the next day and says it might. It seems to be absolutely unclear as to what the intent of this government may be with respect to the health program and tax increases.
I have felt the frustrations from people in my constituency. I wonder if the hon. member has had the same feelings of frustration from her constituents over the fact that the government just does not seem to be coming clean with respect to tax increases.
