Mr. Speaker, that is not true. We know that the average Canadian family is paying $800 more in income tax and that is even before the carbon tax and the higher payroll taxes take effect.
The question was about the deficit. In fact, by 2021, only three years from now, the government will be spending more on debt interest than we currently spend on health transfers. That means higher taxes in exchange for absolutely nothing.
Will the finance minister tell us when the budget will be balanced?
