Mr. Speaker, that is the man who created a deficit before the recession.
This morning the Minister of National Revenue, the Conservative tax collector, was asked specifically to rule out tax increases by the government. He would not do it. Asked to be unequivocal on taxes his confused answer was “we're not there”; in other words, not unequivocal.
Remember when Conservatives promised never to tax income trusts. That promise was broken. They stabbed two and a half million innocent Canadians in the back.
How can Conservatives be believed on the deficit or taxes, or anything else that involves trust?
