Mr. Speaker, our hockey team may have the gold but under the government our economy is still finishing out of the medals.
One of Canada's leading economists has just produced a study that has found the federal tax burden has not fallen in seven years, despite the government's so-called tax cuts.
Canadians still face paying over 40% of their GDP in taxes, while in the United States it is only 30%, and it is our biggest competitor and our trading partner.
How can the government claim to have offered tax relief when the tax burden for hard-working Canadians has not budged at all?
