Mr. Speaker, I am not going to pick isolated comments. The member said in her speech, and I quote, “This is not democracy”. The NDP professes to be very democratic. The title of this bill is, and I will read it for the record, “Provincial Choice Tax Framework Act”. The key word is “Choice”. Why is the NDP today being so undemocratic in not allowing the provinces to choose? That is the question I want to ask.
In the House of Commons on December 8th, 2009. See this statement in context.
