Mr. Speaker, my question is to the acting Prime Minister.
Millions of Canadians who thought the Liberal government would scrap, abolish and kill the GST are disappointed and confused. The finance minister said on Tuesday he is sorry the Liberal government broke its election promise.
Yesterday the Deputy Prime Minister said she had loose lips and regrets her promise to resign if the government failed to scrap the tax. But the Prime Minister, reading chapter and verse from the red book, maintains his government has honoured its commitments.
Which is it? Is the government sorry or is the government not sorry for breaking its 1993 campaign promise to kill the GST?
