Mr. Speaker, we have reduced taxes. A surtax of 3% which was put in place by the previous government has been taken away. We have reduced taxes for a family of four with two earners and an income of $60,000. They have seen a reduction in their taxes of virtually 10%. The same family with an income of $100,000 has seen its taxes cut by 4.8%, and we have reduced the EI premium by 20%.
We have balanced the books and so on. The people of Canada are much better off today than they were when we took over.
