Mr. Speaker, the record of this government is collecting $42 billion more in taxes this year than it collected when it came to office. The worst part of it is who is being hit the hardest. It is not the high income Canadians. It is the poorer families.
In British Columbia a family with two children and earning only $25,000 will pay a 70% tax on every extra dollar of income it earns. If the Prime Minister is not embarrassed by the highest taxes ever charged in Canada, is he not embarrassed by the fact that he is taking those taxes for the most part from the poorest Canadians?
