Mr. Chair, the facts are wholly incorrect there. The fact is that nine million Canadians actually pay less taxes than they did before we came into office. The fact is that nine out of 10 Canadian families have significantly more. There is $2,300 more on average for families as a result of the Canada child benefit.
I understand that the member opposite does not want to announce the fact that we have reduced taxes, but that is actually the fact. We will continue to manage our economy in a way that creates the kind of robust growth and job opportunities that we have seen, and allows us to do so in a fiscally responsible way, reducing our debt as a function of GDP over the course of our planning horizon.
