Mr. Speaker, my hon. friend forgets that the government has not raised tax rates and in fact has brought about a number of tax reductions. It has brought about millions of dollars of tax reductions since coming into office.
I do not know why the hon. member does not want to support this and continues to talk about something that is not accurate. He claims that we have been raising tax rates when we have not.
We are very conscious of the need to have a balanced approach. We are interested in tax reductions. We are interested in balancing our debt situation, but we want to help Canadians have better lives, unlike the Reform Party—
