Mr. Speaker, the acting Prime Minister is not speaking for two Liberal members, certainly not for the member for York South-Weston.
With the Prime Minister's promise to kill the GST the government has called into question the basic integrity of all politicians on both sides of the House. The Deputy Prime Minister's claim that the Liberal government has fulfilled the essence of its GST promise leaves Canadians to believe that campaign promises are completely worthless.
Despite the Deputy Prime Minister's contention, voters cannot take the government out of context. They counted on the Liberals to keep their word.
Will the government keep its promise to drop its scheme to spend $1 billion to hide the GST in Atlantic Canada, go back to the drawing board and come up with a plan to honour its pledge to Canadian voters and scrap the GST?
