Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question. I think virtually everyone in the country knows where the Reform Party stands on taxes. Lower taxes are an absolute must for everyone. A flatter tax would help.
We know that taxes of all kinds kill jobs. We have sons and daughters today who are waking up to that. I have two myself. On just got a job as a digital animator in Vancouver. He has had the job for nine or ten months. He phoned me the other day and said, “Dad, there is something wrong here. I make x dollars and I am not getting much back in return”. I said, “Welcome to the real world, son”. He had an offer from Seattle for a job, making about the same amount of money with a tax rate almost half of ours.
What is wrong in this country is that the tax rate is too high. In particular, we need a flatter tax rate to address that particular issue. What can we say? The taxes the Liberals have put on this country since 1993 are oppressive. Young people are hurting with the tax rates.
