Mr. Speaker, what Canadians will see this afternoon in this budget is not necessarily what they will get. The Minister of Finance may have black ink on his hands but Canadians are still covered in red ink. Personal debt is up. Personal savings are down. Personal bankruptcies are up. Personal income in terms of take home pay is down. And the Prime Minister and his party are actually celebrating over there.
Will the Prime Minister offer Canadians broad based tax relief so they too can be in the black?
