Mr. Speaker, if there is boredom in question period it is because of the quality of the answers, not the quality of the questions.
The government promises hope. Where is the hope for consumers and families when the finance minister has ruled out any
prospect of tax relief until the next millennium? In the last seven years Canadians have seen the disposable incomes of families go down but the revenues of the federal government go up by over $20 billion.
What hope is there for income stability? What hope is there for tax relief? What hope is there for long term job creation as long as government tax revenues increase while the disposable incomes of Canadians decrease?
