Mr. Speaker, the joke is getting as old as that minister.
A small business teetering on the verge of bankruptcy does not need to hear more rhetoric from this government. It needs tax relief today and not 20 years from now. A small family struggling to get by does not need tax relief 20 years from now. It needs it today. But with bracket creep and the payroll tax increases it will spend more in taxes than it did last year, than it does this year.
Why is this government telling Canadians they will get tax relief when in fact they will end up with less money in their wallets at the end of the day?
