Mr. Speaker, I have a passion for a national pharmacare program as I know many, if not all, of my Liberal colleagues have. We are very happy with the degree to which we have been moving on that front. Since we have been in government, a number of things have been set into procedure. We will have to wait and see and hopefully it will be sooner as opposed to later.
My question for the member is in regard to helping me better understand something. When I was in opposition in the Manitoba legislature, I sat while the NDP was in government. In budget after budget, several times New Democrats decreased corporate tax. Even when I challenged them on why they were decreasing corporate tax, they decreased it. Here in Ottawa the NDP members are advocating the very opposite. They are saying go heavy on corporate tax.
I wonder if the member could explain why the NDP at the provincial level decreased corporate tax when the national NDP seems to say, no, we should be increasing corporate tax.
