Mr. Speaker, we are starting off the new year on the right foot. Today we announced that we are giving all Canadians a tax break by exempting the GST and HST on things Canadians care about so that they can buy essentials, such as groceries, snacks and kids' clothing, tax-free. We are also introducing the working Canadians rebate, which will put $250 directly back into the pockets of working Canadians, 18 million-plus working Canadians.
The question for this chamber is this: Will the members opposite have the courage to stand up to their leader, to free themselves from this gag order he has imposed upon them and to come out in favour of the tax break?
