Mr. Speaker, on October 18, 1993 the Deputy Prime Minister promised Canadians on national television: "If the GST is not abolished under a Liberal government I will resign".

Today in a press conference she said: "Making a fast lipped comment in the middle of an election campaign should not put me in a position to resign".

Which way is it? If you make a promise, you make; do not break it. Will the Deputy Prime Minister resign right now?
