Mr. Speaker, since we took office, even though we were running a huge deficit, reducing taxes has been one of our priorities. Even when we were in deficit we started by selective tax cuts for Canadians with disabilities, for the charitable and voluntary sector, for students. The most massive tax cut of all for lower income Canadians was the child tax benefit going to low income working families, $2 billion with this budget.
