Mr. Speaker, where does the member think the surpluses came from? The surpluses came from the backs of Canadians. He is a businessman. He knows taxes are high. The government has been robbing Canadians since 1993. It was only when Canadians started making noise that the government started talking about health care and about giving more to the provinces. However this situation was created by his government in 1993 and he should not be proud of that record.
