Mr. Speaker, Thomas d'Aquino, head of the BCNI, has said:
How can you have a paper on innovation without anything on taxes? You can't. It's a contradiction in terms.
Yet the ministers of HRDC and industry, the big spenders of the Liberal cabinet, believe they can improve productivity with big spending alone.
Why is the finance minister being shut out of a productivity plan that desperately needs leadership on tax reform? Is the Liberal leadership race more important than improving productivity for all Canadians?
