Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech.
He mentioned a few of the NDP's mistaken ideas about this budget. That is nothing new. After we lowered the GST by 2%, the NDP attacked everything we did to put more money in the pockets of Canadian families.
I have a fairly simple question for my colleague who sits on the Standing Committee on Finance. Could he explain why the NDP keeps insisting that the GST must go up? If the NDP were in power, it would increase the GST. Publicly, the NDP says that it is not true. And yet a number of NDP members have clearly said that they want to increase the GST. Will they increase it, or not?
