Flat tax. We have single tax and we have flat tax. I do not know.
The point of the matter is that the government has reduced taxes dramatically by over $100 billion. Canadians will see that reduction when they file their income tax. It is unprecedented by any government in the history of this country. The government has shown real leadership on this file.
Let us take a look at how much we are dealing with. I do not want to be unkind, unfair or inflict too much damage on the member for Okanagan—Coquihalla. We all recognize that anything I do would pale in comparison to what his colleagues have put him through over the past year. However, I must respond to the remarks he made when he was touting the great and wonderful successes during his tenure as finance minister or treasurer of the province of Alberta.
That is an interesting scenario. The province of Alberta is a wonderful part of this country. It is a great place for Canadians to visit. It is a great place for business and very successful. It is the wealthiest province beyond a doubt in terms of per capita numbers in the country. Why is that?
The member that spoke was the treasurer of a province with a population approximately the size of the greater Toronto area, including Mississauga, Markham and all of the areas in the GTA. We are talking three million people. This is also the province that controls the vast majority of the wealth that is derived from the natural resources that exist in that wonderful province.
