Mr. Speaker, this is a good example of the opposition always being late and not being aware of what is going on.
He has referred to 1999 statistics. Since that time we have had a budget that reduced the taxes paid by Canadians and have reduced corporate taxes to five points below the Americans. Capital gains taxes in Canada are five points below the American capital gains. I could go on and on.
Despite all these reductions, we still have a good social system that applies to all the citizens of Canada.
