Mr. Speaker, this government is now collecting $1,800 more from every Canadian taxpayer than when it came to power in 1993. That is just the increase in personal income tax alone. When we pile on the Prime Minister's much loved GST and PST, and payroll taxes like CPP and EI, the tax load is simply staggering. Yet over this same five year period the government has contributed $1,150 less per taxpayer for health care. Why?
In the House of Commons on February 12th, 1999. See this statement in context.
