Mr. Speaker, we have seen no commitment from this government to reduce taxes at all. The finance minister has actually raised taxes over the past six years. Canadians are paying much more. That is why we have younger Canadians going to the U.S. and not staying. The talent is not staying in this country. Yesterday it was Nortel. Today we read that Newbridge cannot keep its talented employees here because they are paying too much in high taxes.
I would like the minister of taxes to stand in this House and tell these 150 companies why he thinks high taxes are helping their bottom lines.
