Madam Speaker, I want to ask the member a question along the same lines. I think my colleague was overly kind when he said the people who are donating. The fact of the matter is that the taxman reaches into our pockets and takes the money. We are considered very bad citizens if we do not fully comply with his request.
I am not against taxation per se. Farmers in western Canada are going bankrupt partially because of the huge tax load and now the added high fuel costs with huge federal taxes. Taxes are killing farmers and this is the money that is being used to presumably create jobs. It is killing thousands of jobs across the country and killing the small business of farming in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
