Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister once said he would kill the GST. He broke that promise. The Prime Minister claims there have been no tax increases under his administration. Now we have a 70 per cent hike in a particular payroll tax alone.
Soon the Prime Minister will be sending candidates across the country to seek re-election. As they go from meeting to meeting, they will be followed like some hound from hell by the Prime Minister's record of broken promises on jobs, broken promises on taxes and broken promises on integrity.
How does the Prime Minister hope to improve his reputation for honesty and integrity when he refuses to admit that CPP contributions are a payroll tax and a 70 per cent hike in premiums is a tax grab?
