Mr. Speaker, in fact we did act last fall. We acted even earlier than that, in the fall economic statement of 2007.
We cut Canadians' taxes, an act that was applauded by many Canadians. We felt then and we still feel now that the best stimulus is to leave money in Canadians' pockets. That is why we cut taxes then, so Canadians could prepare for the economic downturn that we are facing now.
