Mr. Speaker, I listened to the hon. member talking about the balanced budget and taking accolades for the government on that score.
I would like to remind the member that most of this budget was done on the backs of the taxpayers. In the basic rural community that I come from, I have had a number of phone calls with regard to the high taxation level in Canada under both the provincial and federal governments. As a matter of fact, B.C. is the highest taxed part of North America. A large percentage of that is right from the federal government.
I would like to ask the member if he has had any phone calls or questions with regard to the high taxation.
