Mr. Speaker, there is that Liberal arrogance again. I should remind the Prime Minister that he got 38% of the vote, which is hardly a huge mandate.
Not only has the government not scrapped, killed and abolished the GST, it is now using it to wring even more money out of taxpayers' pockets. The government now taxes $6 billion more a year through the GST than when it promised to scrap it.
How can the minister deny that his broken GST promise is anything more than a Liberal tax grab? I would like him to answer the question instead of getting into this trading of comments, back and forth, about national defence.
