Mr. Speaker, it has been said, “Don't tell me what you value. Show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value."
The Liberal budget chose to slash public services and cut frontline jobs, but it eliminated a tax on luxury yachts and private jets. To cover this blatant gift to the rich, the finance minister claimed that the tax cost more to administer than it raised, but that is not true; the luxury tax brought in 20 times what it cost, raising hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
What value should Canadians take from the Liberals' choice?
