Mr. Speaker, first of all, let the hon. member understand that on June 17 Sheila Copps will win an overwhelming majority.
Second, let the hon. member understand that his own party talked about ripping the heck out of the GST and scrapping it. Then, when the finance committee came to me, his own party recommended harmonization. His own party recommended broadening the base. His own party has flip-flopped back and forth on this issue more times than anybody can count.
The fundamental issue is why does this hon. member, after his convention at which they said they would adopt a more enlightened view, continue to expostulate the voices of extremism?
