Madam Speaker, I guess the admiration is mutual. I have a lot of respect for the hon. member opposite. The important thing about human capital is what do we want to create?
If he would read the Beyond a Balanced Budget document the hon. member will discover that there will be 1.2 million Canadians who will be off the tax roll. They will have the money that they are now paying in taxes. These are low income people who earn less than $30,000 a year. That is very significant.
The reason some of these people do not have jobs is because of payroll taxes. Many business people to whom I have talked, and the hon. member is a business man, know only too well how many people have not expanded their businesses because of the proposed increase in the CPP and employment insurance premiums.
