Mr. Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 36 to present two petitions on behalf of my constituents and other Canadians.
The first petition asks Parliament not to proceed with the Liberal GST scheme or any other plan to further reduce the remaining corporate taxes at the expense of the middle class, working individuals and families.
The petition requests the government to undertake a fairer tax reform program so that consumers do not suffer even more financial insecurity and unfair costs at this critical time after receiving 47 tax increases from this Liberal government since it came into power in 1993.
