Mr. Speaker, when I look around at these wonderful walls in the House of Commons, all I see in printing are the words “impôt”, which I suppose is French, and “tax” in English. That is exactly what the government has done.
Our current budget is $173 billion, give or take a few hundred million. I would like to know what the budget was in 1993, the first budget year for the Liberal government and what the difference is. What increase in taxes and revenues has the government had since 1993? Could the secretary of state compare those two figures?
