Mr. Speaker, during question period, something very unfortunate happened during the remarks from the hon. member for Wascana.
He stood up in the House of Commons and, in order to protect his leader from explicit promises to raise taxes earlier on, he tried to apply that to the Prime Minister. The quote he should have used in completion was the following: “What we are not going to do is, every two or three months, come up with another economic policy, another budget, until we need to raise taxes”.
He cut the word “not” out of the quotation in order to give exactly the false impression to Canadians about what the Prime Minister said, and we know why he did it. His motives were purely an attempt to fudge what his leader said about his plan to raise taxes. He should stand and apologize now.
