Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party seems to have an agenda which represents probably less than 10% of the people of the country.
Yes, there is high taxation in higher income groups, but not unavoidably so. We have a progressive taxation system. As the member knows, we have lowered the number of taxation categories from something like six to about three.
The agenda of the Reform Party is a flat tax. A flat tax would shift the total tax burden from the higher income earners to the middle income earners, the people that party does not represent.
