I hear the Liberal Party whip saying there are so many good Liberals. Unfortunately for them but fortunately for us, the Liberals may not always be in power. That party has already overstayed its welcome.
The Liberals are eliminating Canada's democratic past. They wanted to give the federal government powers that could have been assumed by a neighbour, a friend or an enemy. They wanted to gloss over our personal convictions so they could confer responsibilities on the federal government, which fulfilled them through the public service. This was a social consensus among all taxpayers.
With this tax collection agency, who says that tomorrow I will not discover that my Liberal opponent in the 1993 or the 1997 election is sending me my tax bill? He could, on the strength of the election campaign in which we opposed each other, ask me to remit whatever he feels like, taking me out of the political circuit and into bankruptcy if he wants. This sort of thing could happen. The government claims to be serious and concerned about ensuring social and civil peace. I doubt it very much.
There are matters the people have put in the hands of government and this they accepted willingly and wholeheartedly. That is what this government is scrapping. That was the word the government used in relation to the GST. They were supposed to scrap it, but scrap the GST they did not. Furthermore, as an admission of their incompetence I am sure, they let Quebec collect the GST. It seems to be working very well.
