Mr. Speaker, the lights may be on in Montreal but they are not yet on in the government benches.
The prime minister ignores the need to reduce the debt. He also ignores the need to reduce high taxes. This government starts taxing Canadians when they make $6,500 a year. The Americans do not even start until you make $9,500. Our top tax rate cuts in when people make $60,000 a year. The American top rate does not cut in until you make $270,000.
Why does this Liberal government tax poor and middle income Canadians more harshly than even the Americans do?
