Mr. Speaker, first it was the Prime Minister's in-law, Paul Desmarais, who said that high taxes were strangling Canada's economy. Today Doug Young, his former cabinet minister, chaired a whole conference on plummeting Canadian productivity. At the conference the Prime Minister's own pollster admitted that Canadians are upset with our declining standard of living, and the weak dollar proves it.
If top Liberals do not buy the Prime Minister's low dollar-high tax argument, then why should the rest of us?
