Mr. Speaker, the finance minister likes to talk about quotes, so let me read for him what the industry minister said. He said “The debt is simply too large”. He also said that “taxes are 20% higher than they should be”. One of the ministers is wrong and I want to know which one it is.
The Liberals are embarrassed by the dropping standard of living which has been found by these reports. Now we know. It is out in the open. They have to admit there is a problem before they can deal with that problem.
Which minister is right about the dropping standard of living?
