Mr. Speaker, it is kind of remarkable and almost ludicrous to see that the Liberals are expressing concern over taxes when they have voted against most of the 150 tax cuts that the Conservatives have put into place.
I would like to bust their myths by asking them to address a few of the facts. First and foremost is one that the member for Markham—Unionville, a former revenue minister, should know well. That is that Canada has the lowest federal tax burden in 50 years, including when he was the revenue minister.
He talked about raising taxes on families, when the truth is that taxes have gone down $3,200 on average for every Canadian family. If we include the universal child tax benefit, they have gone down $5,600. Tariffs have been cut by $590 million.
Will the Liberals come clean and admit that Canadian taxes have come down to the lowest level in 50 years, under this Conservative government?
