Mr. Speaker, I compliment the Leader of the Opposition on a number of his remarks and, in particular, his commitment to lowering taxes. We in the Progressive Conservative Party know that is how to grow an economy.
I want to clear up something that happened yesterday. When the Prime Minister referred to the fact that he was the Minister of Finance at the time that gas taxes were increased 9 cents per litre, was he or was he not a member of that government and did he support the budget that actually increased gas taxes during the Getty regime?
