Mr. Speaker, it is good to be reminded of good things as well as the low tax programs of the government.

Has the member ever seen a time when the NDP or the Liberal Party have not wanted to have tax increases?

If we look at the GST, when a Liberal member said that we should do something for the people who are struggling with their finances our government promised to lower the GST from 7% to 6% to 5%.

I would ask the member about the history of the NDP. Did the NDP support it? Did the Liberals support it? Has there ever been a tax they did not want to increase?
