Mr. Speaker, the holy harmonization hymn book, chapter 7, verse 5, states on the harmonized GST: "We think that Albertans will applaud this move to an improved tax system".
I invite the Prime Minister to come to Alberta and say that. I hope when he comes he brings a very large Inuit carving with him because he will need it, I guarantee that.
Can the Prime Minister explain how his taking a billion dollars out of the pockets of Canadians to finance a tax break in Atlantic Canada demonstrates the Prime Minister's commitment to equality and why will Albertans really applaud the picking of their pockets?
