Mr. Speaker, those are not facts, those are ridiculous Liberal talking points.
The studies produced by the Canadian Tax Foundation and DRI-WEFA make it absolutely clear that we are losing $44 billion to the underground economy because of overtaxation and that the federal tax burden today is exactly where it was six years ago.
How can the government claim that it is reducing taxes when Canadians are in fact paying more in taxes this year than they did at this time last year?
