Mr. Speaker, the proof in the pudding is looking at the real world. If we look at provinces that have cut taxes like Alberta and Ontario, we see booming economies. If we look at my province of British Columbia which is running a $500 million deficit and has the highest tax rates in the country, do we see a good economy? We see a province that is the worst place to do business in North America. That is not success, that is failure. If we want to listen to success, I implore the hon. member to look at the Reform budget, cut taxes and enable to our economy to be the best it can become.
