Madam Speaker, the comments from the member for Mississauga South indicate once more that Liberal accountants may know how to count beans but they do not understand how to grow the economy.
The hon. member opposite said that it really is not consequential whether we have the highest marginal rate kick in at $60,000 or a quarter of a million or a half a million dollars. This really does suggest he does not understand the disincentives to work, save and invest among the most productive segment of the economy. I am offended when I hear a member from Ontario, who stood in this place and voted to cut billions of dollars in health transfers from his own people and his own province, turn around and blame the Ontario government for cutting taxes. Yes, the Ontario government cut taxes but its income tax revenues went up by $5 billion because more people are working, saving and investing, something a Liberal could not possible understand as a rational response to tax relief.
Does the member for Kings—Hants agree with me that the member opposite does not understand the supply side dynamic that tax relief provides as demonstrated in the crucible of Ontario in the past three years?
