Mr. Speaker, the tax man cometh.
Yes, that is still true, but the good news is that he will not get nearly as much this year as he would have two years ago under the Liberal government.
The tax relief people felt when they filled out their 2006 returns was noticed and appreciated, but the tax refund that my constituents will get for the 2007 tax year will be a pleasant change indeed.
In fact, this Conservative government will leave $190 billion in the pockets of hard-working Canadians over the next five years.
What was the Liberal response? The Conservative government reduced the GST from 7% to 5% and the Liberals promised to reverse that reduction should they get into government again.
That is right. They want to increase taxes. Why?
Because they consider taxes to be like Maxwell House coffee: it is good to the very last drop.
