Mr. Speaker, the finance minister has a lot of gall when he talks about tax relief for high income Canadians.
Using Reform's tax cut proposal, according to a StatsCanada econometric model that we had run this morning, over a million low income Canadians would no longer have to pay taxes. That would leave money in their pockets where it is desperately needed instead of in the pockets of bureaucrats and high-flying politicians where it is usually wasted.
When is the government going to realize that its rinky-dink, make work, job creation programs are not the way to help Canadians and that cutting the size of government and giving Canadians real tax relief is?
