Mr. Speaker, again we are on the constant downward trend. We are meeting our economic targets of reducing the deficit and ultimately dealing with the debt. We are not doing it in a slash and burn fashion, which is how Ontario is doing it.
The easiest thing for us to do would be simply to come forward, slash and burn, and get the numbers down. However, that is not the goal in and of itself. We must take a balanced approach in dealing with the debt and deficit. We must deal with social programs. We cannot cripple the economy because we want to hit a certain number. We have to be balanced, measured and determined.
When we talk about tax reform, when we talk about wanting to change things, we have to get the fundamentals in place in order to deal with the main objectives of jobs and growth in the economy. That is what we are committed to on this side of the House. We are going to deal with it.
With respect to changes in taxes, we are talking about fairness, what is equitable. We made some of those changes in the last budget and we will continue to do so as we move into the following budget and the next election.
