Mr. Speaker, in the year or two run-up to the 1993 election there were many conferences, including the Aylmer conference, developing policies for the election. Those policies were instilled into a book called "Creating Opportunity". Some words of mine made it into the book and some words did not.
However, every one of the 295 Liberals who ran in the election in 1993 ran on "Creating Opportunity", the red book. That includes page 22 in the English version and page 20 in the French version which says we would replace the GST with a system that generates equivalent revenues, is fairer to consumers and small business and minimizes disruption to small business and promotes federal-provincial co-operation and harmonization. That is what we did.
