Mr. Speaker, I would advise the Deputy Prime Minister to stay away from those bank machines.
I would like to quote from the Liberal Party policy convention: "A Liberal government would reaffirm the historic principles embodied in tax free status for the printed word and remove the goods and services tax on reading materials". The Liberals have put it in writing for us and we are very appreciative of that.
Since the finance minister likes to talk about his government's commitment to education and literacy, I wonder if he can explain his broken promise, for instance, to medical students at Memorial University who are going to have to pay $400 more for their books because of a promise that the Liberals did not keep. In fact, not only did the government not keep its promise it doubled the GST on books.
