Mr. Speaker, the government should respect Canadian families and not take them for fools.
The Liberals want us to believe that this budget is good for families, but that is false. Their tax burden will increase by almost $4 billion over the next two years. After the cancellation of the children's fitness and arts tax credits, families have the right to know how much this will cost them.
Will the government be forthcoming and tell families that it will be placing the burden of its astronomical deficit on their shoulders?
