Mr. Speaker, the finance minister has notes in his margin that say “argument weak, yell like hell”.
The facts are these. When workers look at their paycheques the taxes are increased, not decreased. When a mother looks at her family budget at the end of the month she has less money to spend because of the minister's taxes and not more. Businesses are going to the United States and not staying here because of the tax policies of the minister.
Why after six years of broken promises should Canadians believe the minister when he says that now he will decrease taxes?
