Mr. Speaker, today is tax freedom day.
I know it deeply saddens my NDP and Liberal colleagues, but today is the day when hard-working Canadians no longer have to send tax dollars into three levels of government. On this side of the House, our Conservative government believes that Canadian families should pay low taxes, and that is why, since taking office in 2006, we have taken steps to lower the tax burden on Canadian families to its lowest point in over 50 years.
Would the Minister of Finance please inform the House how much earlier tax freedom day takes place today than it did when we took office?
