Mr. Speaker, while the Liberal trained seals may clap on cue for the finance minister, the fact is that over the last five years 155% of any wage gains that Canadian working people have made has been taxed back by this finance minister. Canadians are in a net 55% deficit on any wage gain.
I ask the finance minister: Why does he not simply do the right thing, the thing he has promised but has not fulfilled, and promise today that some real tax breaks are going to come for hard working Canadians?
