Mr. Speaker, I just heard the Liberal member comment on the tiny impact of bracket creep. Actually it is about over $1 billion a year that it takes from taxpayers' pockets. But I point out to my friend that the government's tax reduction strategy next year will only be $880 million. In other words, bracket creep completely eliminates the tax relief the government is so proud of.
Will my friend from Nanaimo—Cowichan comment on this? Will he also comment on the huge impact that CPP tax increases will have on the pocketbooks of average Canadian taxpayers?
