Mr. Speaker, we have from day one recognized the overly onerous burden of the personal income tax and we have continually, in every budget, taken measures to reduce it.
Unfortunately we cannot afford the $25 billion in fiscal goodies promised to us by the Reform Party with a $9 billion black hole without telling us where it will come from.
If we were to undertake to introduce the Reform budget, the bonding agencies would just simply laugh at us.
