Mr. Speaker, given that the province of British Columbia probably has the most robust economy of any province in Canada, and given that is a direct result of the NDP government in that province, far be it for me to second guess the minister of finance for British Columbia and his policies.
The hon. member should know as to taxing property in Vancouver versus property in Winnipeg versus property in Sydney—Victoria, these are property matters that are left to another authority other than those in this House.
I welcome a real question. I would suggest that the hon. members discuss the policies of the minister of finance in British Columbia with him. They might find it in their hearts to adopt some of them.
