I am doing my best on this side of the House but it is a heck of a lot tougher when in government to move the will of the system. Challenging the government is a core responsibility of the opposition side. I hope the speech of the member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca is the beginning of a long, focused and forceful debate from the opposition on comprehensive tax reform.
He will find there are probably about 25 or 30 members on this side of the House who share the notion that what we need more than anything now is to fix the rotten tax act.
