Madam Speaker, I heard the member from Calgary bring this up the other day in the House. If he had called me instead of making the comment in the House he would have found out exactly what I said.
I agree with what Mike Harris has done. In this country, in the last nine months of 1997, 270,000 jobs were created. Of those 270,000 jobs 216,000 were created in Ontario. That proves that high taxes cost jobs.
What I said is that on issues such as the megacity people are saying that maybe the Harris government could communicate a little better. Government could be a little more consultative when bringing people into the process so they understand and accept what the problem is and what the government is trying to do.
I did not say I was against Mike Harris and I did not say I was against his tax cuts.
