Mr. Speaker, I can advise the member that I was not aware of it, but it is very typical of what happens with taxes.
In the province of British Columbia we have the situation of the forest renewal fund. That fund was never ever going to be touched. The NDP told us: "Oh, my goodness, the sky would fall before that was ever touched". What happened when they ran short of money is they turned around and grabbed it.
I do not believe for a split second that the Liberal government or its successors, unless it is ourselves, would not twist things around ever so slightly, just a little bit here and just a little bit there so that it would end up with the tax not appearing, as the legislation currently calls for, on the sales receipt. That would disappear. Over a period of time it will disappear and once again it will be a hidden tax.
I concur with the member. It is just taxes, taxes, taxes. Canadians are absolutely sick and fed to the teeth with taxes.
