Mr. Speaker, may I straighten the member out as I usually have to do. At the time he was talking about with regard to the 1995 budget there was a $40 billion problem. The finance minister increased taxes and slashed the guts out of health care by slashing $7 billion. We do not have to take any lessons from him.
Everywhere I go I have people coming up to me and talking about the issue of taxation, taxation and taxation. When I was talking to farmers in the maritimes that was the number one issue. I do not understand why the member, in spite of the fact that he comes from an urban constituency, cannot understand that everyone including farmers needs a tax break.
