Mr. Speaker, we got sharper responses when we were handling the question period by ourselves.
This summer I visited a lot of Canadians at their places of work: at factories, plants, offices and so forth. What these people are interested in is take home pay. They will not believe any promise of tax relief unless the federal government takes a smaller bite from their paycheques.
Why should Canadian workers believe any of these promises on tax relief when the federal deduction from their paycheques week after week and month after month keeps increasing rather than decreasing?
