Mr. Speaker, yesterday I asked the Prime Minister whether he was willing to enter into a federal-provincial tax relief agreement to ensure that tax cuts given by provincial governments like Ontario remained in the pockets of taxpayers.
The finance minister responded by saying that the issue had been discussed extensively at federal-provincial meetings and that a general agreement existed that one level of government would not tax away tax reductions made by another.
Does such a general agreement in fact exist, and if it does, will the finance minister table it in the House?
