Mr. Speaker, it always amazes me that my colleagues across the way never want to address the fundamental issue that is being debated here, and that being that the Prime Minister, ministers of the Crown and other members across the way said categorically that there would be no tax increases under their watch. They also said that there were no tax increases in this budget. They can try to redirect any which way they want, but at the end of the day there are taxes in this budget that will increase cross-border shopping, which will hurt communities closest to the border.
In the House of Commons on April 15th, 2013. See this statement in context.
