Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister talks about paying down market debt. That is like bragging because I have paid off my Visa with my MasterCard.
Last year Canadians paid $161 billion in taxes, including the huge CPP tax hikes. This year we will pay $167 billion. By the turn of the century, in the year 2000, it will be going up to $173 billion: $161 billion, $167 billion, $173 billion. It is going up, up and away.
Just how is it that the Prime Minister can explain this is spelled tax relief?
