Madam Speaker, the startling thing in the budget yesterday was the $100 billion tax cut. It sounded like a budget of the Canadian Alliance in putting that much money into tax cuts, in particular because the tax cuts are greater for wealthy people, for millionaires, for people with all kinds of cash and for people who make all kinds of capital gains.
I believe the government had choices. It made a choice to reward its wealthy friends. It made a choice for big corporate tax cuts. It made a choice to help those who have the most money in Canada rather than put money into health care, education and the environment. That is how I see last night's mini-budget. I would like to know whether the member for Halifax West sees it in a similar vein.
