Read our fresh start program and you will know what we are going to spend it on.
The western world is moving in new directions. The public is demanding balanced budgets and the provinces are getting there much faster than the feds. There will be a reduced incentive for provincial sales tax relief with the BST. There will be more leverage from the federal government on the provinces.
We have seen 36 tax increases from this government, taking $24 billion more from the taxpayers. If the feds really want to come to grips with a rational, focused, central government, they could indeed contemplate the end of GST. At least let us not put roadblocks in the way of eliminating the GST, and that is what the BST does.
