Madam Speaker, the question by the hon. member suggests that he is out of touch with the books. He is out of touch with Canadians. He is out of touch with his constituents who will tell him that Canada is paying 56% more tax than the average of the G-7 countries. The average Canadian is paying 23% more tax than the average of all OECD countries.
The hon. member on the other side should spend some time looking at the auditor general's report. He will find the same facts and figures I am speaking about in that report. They will show that the member is out of touch. He should read those books and tell the finance minister what the auditor general is saying.
