Mr. Speaker, not only did we say we would replace the GST and not scrap it, we asked the Standing Committee on Finance to examine the various options for reform. The committee consulted with Canadians and with tax experts and recommended a national harmonized tax, which I might add the Reform Party members on that committee endorsed.
I repeat that business, consumer advocates and consumer groups have all said a harmonized system would be best. Is the Reform Party now going to say we are better off with the system we have?
We want a harmonized system. We will work toward that and we will get it.
