Mr. Speaker, Reformers always knew that there exists no GST replacement that quoting from the red book "raises equivalent revenues, is fairer to consumers and small business and minimizes disruption to small business". There is not one replacement that could be created within one year.
My question is also to the Minister of Finance. Is this broken promise symptomatic of Liberal incompetence, or is it a sign of Liberal willingness to promise almost anything in order to get elected?
