Mr. Speaker, last week the Prime Minister said not to read his lips but to read his record. That record is pretty dreadful.
There are 1.4 million unemployed Canadians, two to three million who are underemployed, 500,000 who have given up looking for work. One in four Canadians is worried about losing his or her job. There are record bankruptcies, record levels of personal debt, plummeting personal incomes, record taxation levels and a list of broken promises as long as your arm. It is a record to be
ashamed of. The government has not learned the lesson that taxes, taxes, taxes kill jobs, jobs, jobs.
When is the government going to stop breaking the backs of tax worried Canadians and start shrinking government and lowering taxes? That is what creates jobs.
