Mr. Speaker, at midnight tonight the deadline expires for Canadians to file their income tax returns. Despite its statements to the contrary, after 10 years in office the government has failed to deliver any form of meaningful tax relief. Canadians still pay almost half of every dollar to Liberal boondoggles like the gun registry, sponsorship abuse and GST fraud. This compares to 19¢ for shelter, 14¢ for transportation and 11¢ for food.
Why will the Minister of Finance not immediately reduce personal income taxes and stop punishing hardworking Canadians?
