Mr. Speaker, he has done this totally without my assistance. The finance minister has cut EI premiums by an accumulative amount of $7.1 billion since we took office. The finance minister has cut taxes for the families of the working poor, for the disabled, for charities and voluntary organizations, for students and their parents. This is what the finance minister has done.
In the House of Commons on December 1st, 1997. See this statement in context.
