Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk about the member keeping his word. The leader of the third party said in 1990 that he called for the election of Reform Party candidates who would rip out the GST. That was in 1990.
In 1991, the leader said that the GST could not be repealed immediately because it would increase the deficit. I am only in 1991. Now I have to move to 1992.
The Reform changed its position yet again, saying that it would reduce the GST in stages after, only after, the budget was balanced.
I compliment him for his great statement: "We commend the government on its attempt to harmonize the tax with the provinces".
