Madam Speaker, in his speech, the member for Timmins—James Bay talked about how Manitoba had reported in its November 30 throne speech that the harmonized sales tax in Manitoba, which has slightly over one million people, would impose more than $400 million in new sales tax costs.
If one does the math and calculates what it would cost for Ontario, I think it would be a spectacular result to throw out to the member for Mississauga South. The reality is the public is already opposed to this legislation. Regardless of what could be in the Ontario memorandum, the fact is a whopping 74% of people in Ontario are opposed to this legislation, without even being aware of the kind of time allocation and closure procedures in which the member for Mississauga South and his Liberal Party are involved. They are aiding and abetting the Conservatives.
We have a good head start. We have the government on the run and we want to keep it on the run.
