Mr. Speaker, the finance minister can try to duck election promises all he wants, but
the government promised Canadians from one end of the country to the other he would abolish, scrap and kill the GST.
Page 22 of the red book was not good enough for the Prime Minister on the campaign trail and it was not good enough to keep Sheila Copps on the front benches.
Why does the Prime Minister refuse to accept responsibility for the promises he made during the last election? How can he expect Canadians to believe that his promise to abolish the GST was different from the promise made by Sheila Copps?
