Mr. Speaker, under this government, taxes have gone up $8 billion since it came into power. That is taxes, not revenue growth.
Last week someone in my office spoke with a lady who earns $16,000 a year. Alice called us because she had to take out a mortgage on her trailer to pay the $740 income tax bill she gets from Mr. Compassion here across the aisle. She keeps her heat at 60 degrees to hold her fuel bill down.
Instead of the usual hot air from the minister, when is he going to give tax relief to Canadians like Alice so that they can keep their own homes warm?
