Mr. Speaker, Canadians are paying the highest personal income taxes in the G-7 and it is getting worse.
The average Canadian taxpayer will pay $2,020 more in 1999 than in 1993. Those are Department of Finance figures. These taxpayers are feeling the pain. They know their bottom line is way down, thanks to this tax hungry Liberal government.
On today's royal pain day the taxpayers want relief. Is there some preparation R on the horizon? Why will the government not relieve the pain?
