Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party cut taxes and had eight consecutive surplus budgets.
Income splitting was the Conservatives' signature tax policy in the last election, but it was not even mentioned in the Speech from the Throne, the blueprint for this session.

What convinced the Prime Minister to flip-flop yet again and throw his Minister of Finance under the bus?
