I would be very surprised, delighted. Members opposite say that I will be surprised. I take that as a reaffirmation of the promise made during the election to get rid of the GST. You heard it here first. Once again the Liberals opposite are affirming their promise to get rid of the GST.
We should hope that perhaps the way they will do it is to get behind the notion of a flat tax and work with us and other parties, with members opposite like the member for Broadview-Greenwood, who has been working at developing a notion of the single tax for years. Finally it seems like this might be the opportunity. Let us put all of our energies together to cure the cold and not the symptom.
