Mr. Speaker, if I can keep track, our government has cut about $200 billion in taxes, both for individuals and corporations. We believe that the source of wealth in the economy is in the private sector.
We live in a time when economic stimulus is required by federal, provincial, and territorial governments to help the economy recover, and that causes the economy to grow because of government infusions. We are now at the transition point. We want the private economy to take over and drive this economy. We believe the best way to do that is to reduce barriers to business and reduce taxes so that more people can be employed.
