Mr. Speaker, the truth is there is no tax relief. Today the average person earning $35,000 in Ontario spends 50% of his or her paycheque on taxes; $17,175 goes just to taxes.
Does the minister not think it is just a little obscene that someone with a modest income of $35,000 should pay half of that in taxes, or is the government saying that half a loaf is better than none?
