Mr. Speaker, the Liberal leader has a tax program that he continues to update and Canadians are starting to feel scared. They imagine the Liberal leader approaching them and saying, “Your money or your life.”
The Liberal leader has already mentioned on several occasions that he will consider all options including, as we have heard before, higher taxes.
If he is keeping his options open, will he also cut social programs and employment insurance, in addition to hiking taxes?
What unpalatable measures will he force on Canadians—tax hikes or massive cuts to social programs?
He should stand up and tell us right now.
At least on this side of the House we have the decency and the realism to do everything in our power to lighten the tax burden for Canadian citizens in these times of global economic crisis.
