Mr. Speaker, I would like to broach the issue from the point of view of how the Conservative government has consistently used deception in trying to give Canadians the impression that it is a government that does not believe in taxation. It has consistently attempted to give that message. What is somewhat sad is that the government will spend millions of tax dollars on spin ads, trying to give that impression.
The vast majority of Canadians can see through it. We believe in recognizing that when the government increases tariffs, not only is it increasing taxes indirectly; it is also costing jobs. We will see more Canadians wanting to go and get those bargains south, something which raises a whole new issue.
I wonder if the member might like to provide a comment on that.
