Madam Speaker, Canadians are asking us to find a way to unite the country, not let them go.
The best way to unite the country is to bring economic prosperity to all and to treat all Canadians equally. The way to ensure economic prosperity is to keep tax levels lower than they are. We have the highest tax rates in the G-7. We have to get rid of the $600 billion debt and give the people of Quebec, not the politicians, more money in their pockets so they can carve out their own lives and realize their own destinies.
We do not need big government, whether it be in Quebec City or in Ottawa, telling people how to live their lives. Let us leave money in their pockets.
