Mr. Speaker, I think the finance minister just told another whopping rival. We have the tape running.
The unemployment rate is 85% higher in Canada than in the United States. We know the finance minister recently admitted that young people are leaving Canada to go to the U.S. because they are paid better wages. Certainly the minister should not be proud of that fact.
Given these facts, why is it that the minister continues to refuse to lower taxes in a significant way so that Canadians can see their standard of living improve?
