Mr. Speaker, I understand where Bloc members are coming from on the issue. They have a great deal of reservations with the affordability plan, in essence, or they have started questioning it: Is the tax break being passed on to the consumer? I think it is a fair comment.
We have provided assurances. The Prime Minister and the government, recognizing the issue of affordability, see this as a way to support Canadians and businesses in the short term. It is being taken all the way to April in one form or another.
It is an affordability issue. The assurance has been provided to the Bloc that we are ensuring the tax break goes to our constituents. I am wondering if the Bloc can be very clear on whether it supports the tax break.
