Mr. Speaker, at a time of increasing concern about literacy, it is unfortunate that another Liberal promise was broken a week or two ago when the Minister of Finance made it clear that the Liberals were not going to retract the GST on books.
At the time, the Minister of Finance defended his decision by challenging his critics to say where the $140 million would come from. One of the places the Prime Minister could look for the $140 million is in the $2 billion that was moved overseas tax free as a result of the family trust loophole.
In that respect I am very glad to welcome the legal action being taken by Cho!ces, a social action group in Winnipeg, which is going to take the federal government to court if it does not have that tax decision, that advanced ruling reviewed so the money that should be going into the public treasury goes there to pay for things like taking the GST off books.
