Mr. Speaker, it is too bad the Prime Minister did not share the epiphany with the Minister of Industry. I will quote his revelation from the weekend:
I've been saying for a long time we've got to lower taxes. Personal taxes are much higher than in the U.S.
He says we are falling way behind our American counterparts. In fact, if the finance minister were doing his job, average Canadian families would have $28,000 more in their pockets than they do under the high tax policies of the finance minister.
Why does the Prime Minister not agree just for once with the industry minister that taxes are way too high and they have to be lowered now for Canadian families and businesses?
