Mr. Speaker, today is tax freedom day in the United States, that day every year when taxpayers get to stop sending their paycheques to government and start keeping them for themselves. Canada's tax freedom day will not be for another month and a half, almost into the summer.
Canadians are paying more taxes than they have ever paid before. The finance minister is sitting on the biggest bag of cash that any government has ever sat on before. It is taxpayers' money.
When will he give that money back to the taxpayers? Why can we not have tax freedom day today in Canada?
