Mr. Speaker, my constituents in Dauphin—Swan River, Manitoba work hard, abide by the laws, and do their best to create communities safe both for the young and the old.
But wheat, cattle, and pork producers, the backbone of Dauphin—Swan River, have fewer and fewer markets to go to. When they sell their produce, they get less and less.
In fact, the one thing they can count on getting more of is more taxes. They pay higher and higher taxes to the federal government and get less and less. They get longer and longer speeches from the finance minister. They get more and more empty rhetoric from the Prime Minister.
It is time for less rhetoric, shorter speeches and tax relief for Dauphin—Swan River.
