Yes, Mr. Speaker, but there is only one taxpayer in this country.
Instead of sidestepping the question, the minister should depend on some competent economists. All the real experts say that the surplus will exceed $30 billion over the next three years. He is encroaching on provincial areas of jurisdiction, while shamefully condemning the provinces to oppressive taxation of the middle class.
Tomorrow, will he bow to the arguments of Quebec, or will he continue to bleed the taxpayers dry?
