Mr. Speaker, look who is here. We have not seen him all summer. We thought he had resigned and had not told anybody. It is good to see him back. Welcome.
We have documents from the finance minister's office indicating that they have brought in $21 billion in income tax hikes since he became finance minister. That is $1,500 per person, an incredible amount.
Now that he has done so much damage to Canadian taxpayers, why will he not bring in a budget now while the problems are occurring instead of six months from now when it is too late?
