Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise, pursuant to Standing Order 36, to present a petition on behalf of a number of individuals from Athabasca, Lac La Biche and Edmonton, Alberta, as well as other locations.
The petitioners are concerned about the tax structure. They feel that corporate contributions to public revenue are too low and among the lowest of all the G-7 countries. They are very concerned about the individuals' share of federal revenue in terms of the taxes being paid. They are also in opposition to the harmonization of the GST which the Liberal government has put forward.
The petitioners call upon the House of Commons and the Government of Canada to undertake a fair tax reform dealing with all these issues including the high taxes on gasoline.
