Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday we witnessed the embarrassing spectacle of the finance minister grovelling for forgiveness for the government's broken election promise to kill the GST.
Today the Prime Minister is standing up in the House and saying "we did not break our promise", suggesting somehow that all along they had gone to the electors with the promise to bribe the Atlantic premiers with $1 billion and to create a GST super tax in three provinces.
Who is telling the truth, the finance minister or the Prime Minister?
