Mr. Speaker, I know we are switching the topic here but I do not think there is one Canadian who does not think that he or she is paying too much taxes. However, what they also want is accountability for the public dollars that they send to Ottawa, and that, unfortunately, is not helping right now.
It is okay to think about tax cuts but if they turn into user fees we have a bigger problem. As I have said many times in the House, we need a full and open debate on taxation from the municipal, provincial, territorial and federal levels. We also need a full debate on what programs Canadians want, how much they are willing to spend and on the accountability of parliamentarians in order to spend their hard earned tax dollars.
