Mr. Speaker, my apologies. I should talk through the Chair.
The debate today is not about a balanced budget. The debate is about tax relief. The government is talking about the tax relief it has given out. That is what we are talking about. We would like to point out to the hon. member that the tax relief his government is talking about is piecemeal tax relief and it is not what Canadians are looking for. There is a huge debate going on among Canadians including businessmen and students. They are all saying that there has to be an approach taken by the government that addresses this basic question. The bottom line is Canadians are saying to get off their backs.
