Mr. Speaker, I am very proud of this government's $21 billion in tax cuts since 2006. I think the member makes our point. The federal finance minister told the finance minister of Ontario that other provinces were way ahead of Ontario in terms of their corporate tax rate. He told the finance minister that if he wanted to save manufacturing jobs in his province that he should look at the corporate tax rate. He asked him to at least stay on the same playing field as his other provincial counterparts who have taken the lead and have actually done something for their manufacturing sector. I think it was only appropriate and the right thing for our finance minister to point that out before that budget was presented.
