Mr. Speaker, once before the Prime Minister promised tax relief. He was going to abolish, get rid of, in other words obliterate the GST. Everyone knows what happened with that.
When the Reform Party started pressing the government on tax relief this was the Prime Minister's initial response: “I don't think it is the right thing to do in a society like Canada”, as if giving tax relief was un-Canadian in some way.
With a record like that and with statements like that on the record why should Canadians believe they are going to get real tax relief out of the Prime Minister?
